Get ready for the biggest community celebration of the decade! On May 8, 2025, the entire nation, along with our friends and allies around the world, will come together for VE Day 80, marking 80 years of peace.

This year, VE Day 80 will be all about bringing the peoples, families and communities of our great nation together in a spirit of celebration and peace.

The celebrations will begin at 9am with hundreds of Town Criers throughout the nation delivering a spirited VE Day 80 Proclamation, setting the tone for a day of fun and togetherness. As the day turns into evening, the celebrations will continue with music, dancing, and the sound of bells ringing out from churches and cathedrals at 6:30pm.

At 9.30pm, the night sky will be lit up as over one thousand Beacons and hundreds of Lamp Lights of Peace shine across the UK, with the flames from both, representing the ‘light of peace’ that emerged from the dreadful darkness of war.

"This VE Day 80 holds special significance as it may be the last time we have the privilege of celebrating alongside those who remember the events of WWII. As we gather to celebrate, let’s also remember to honour their legacy by committing to the values
they fought for: peace, unity, and reconciliation”.
To make this moment truly special, we invite everyone to pause, stand if they can, and join in the largest sing-along of the patriotic hymn “I Vow to Thee My Country.” Let’s fill the air with song, laughter, and the sounds of joy, making this the most unforgettable party the world has ever seen.

Join us at Hexham Abbey for a special service of commemoration, finishing with the lighting of a beacon at 9.30pm. Everyone is welcome. Book your free tickets here: https://buytickets.at/hexhamabbeypcc/1624270
