Welcome to the Virtual VE Day 75 celebration.
We have a lot of new and exciting virtual resources to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the ‘Victory in Europe’ (VE Day).
Get in the spirit by following along with our 8-day countdown, including a range of activities to do each day from the 1 May to 8 May 2020.
Download your Ration Book (or pick up a copy with the Lynn News or Your Local Paper on 1 May).
Put your name on it and check out the challenges.
View or download the war-time cookery book and have a look at the recipes you could choose from that you can prepare for the party.
Use the downloadable template to make bunting to decorate your house or garden. You can also check out the BBC guide to bunting.
Watch our video on how to make a party hat. We recommend using recycled paper.
View or download the VE-Day Afternoon Tea Party guide menu. Plan how you will arrange your party table.
Use your recycled materials you have been collecting and include a Union Jack and a Rainbow flag if you want.
