'War is Over' - 80th year anniversary party in Bridgnorth

Join us for Shropshire's biggest celebration of 'Red, White and Blue', celebrating the 80th anniversary of the end of WW2.

There were celebrations and street parties when the end of WW2 was announced

Save the date, and bring as much red, white and blue as you can to Bridgnorth's Severn Park on the weekend of September 6-7. We'd love to see as many people in period WW2 clothing - help your local charity shop 'make and mend' is the motto!

This is not like any typical event, we really want your participation, join in on stage, learn how to 'jive' in our dance classes, and much more.
