VE Day 80 open afternoon

Join us at The Poppy Factory on Thursday 8 May for a special celebration to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

Our open afternoon will coincide with national events to remember the end of the Second World War in Europe. Our veteran workers and their families were among those who took to the streets of London to celebrate the end of the war in 1945.

Hear VE Day-themed talks by our expert hosts, watch special presentations and view lesser-seen parts of our historic factory. Hot drinks, refreshments and special VE Day 80 Victoria sponge cake will be on offer, with music from the era adding to the spirit of celebration.
