To be held at New Milton Recreation Ground

The other event is on Sunday 4 May between 11.00 and 1600 on the New Milton Recreation Ground and it is New Milton’s Commemoration of the ending of the Second World War in Europe – VE80 Get-Together.

It is hoped that the New Milton Community will come together for a Military and 40’s Themed event, with all the traditional activities that will provide fun and interest for everyone of all ages. The Performance Pavilion will stage the Wessex Military Band, 3 of The Military Wives Choirs, a Vera Lynn Tribute and much more. On the field, there will be children’s entertainments of the era, a WWII Exhibition of the impact of WWII on New Milton, Displays and tasters of Wartime Rations and other foods and much much more. There will also be a BBQ, Lions Refreshment Tent and a Bar contained in an old Fire Engine – and even the kids can get in the Cabin and ‘ring the bell!!’
