Staffordshire Cultural Events CIC is excited to announce the upcoming celebration marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day on Saturday 10 May 2025, from 12noon to 5:30pm in Victoria Park, Stafford.

This landmark occasion will be an unmissable event, blending the historic VE Day commemoration with the “Stafford In the World” event, conceived by former MP Jeremy LeFroy. The celebration will be a vibrant, fun-filled party for everyone to enjoy!

Free admission will allow the whole community to come together and celebrate this pivotal moment in world history - the day that marked the end of World War II in Europe, following Germany’s unconditional surrender. 

It’s a day of remembrance, gratitude, and celebration of peace. Expect a host of cultural displays, live performances, and entertainment, including a wartime medley from Pippa Attwood, Soprano, a solo performance of the national anthem Bugler Nathan James delivering a beautiful tribute, and the grand finale will be an unforgettable performance from The Bluebird Belles Vocal Trio, harmonising through the decades with timeless tunes and bundles of vintage charm!

Local businesses will showcase their work through exhibition stands and demonstrations, adding to the lively atmosphere. The Armed Forces will also be present, paying tribute to the sacrifices made by those who served during the war.

Join us for a day full of history, culture, and community spirit - it’s a celebration you won’t want to miss.

Local businesses in Stafford are invited to participate and join in the event.
