At the Yorkshire Air Museum and Allied Air Forces Memorial at Elvington near York there will be events held over three days, to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day. On May 8th itself there will be be a Memorial Service in our chapel at 11.30, led by the Museum’s chaplain. This is open to all visitors.
The big celebration takes place on May 10th and 11th, with our annual wartime weekend, ‘We’ll Meet Again’.
1940s re-enactors, vehicles, displays and demonstrations will take place against the backdrop of the Museum’s Halifax bomber and Dakota paratrooper aircraft, on the site of a former RAF WW2 bomber base.
This is an annual event but has a VE Day twist, with a street party taking place over the weekend. Bring your own picnic and join in the celebrations, or buy food from our café and share the tables with other visitors.
Normal museum admission applies. More details www.yorkshireairmuseum.org/events
