We had a wonderful time marking VE Day 80 at our t We had a wonderful time marking VE Day 80 at our tea party! It was an amazing afternoon full of nostalgia, celebration and reflection. 🫖 🍰

Our friends at Open Access Arts created a memory tree for our guests to share their experiences of wartime, which we'll have on display until the end of the month. We were delighted to have a very special guest join us - 104-year-old Dorothy who was a code breaker at Bletchley Park during World War II. 

Thank you to vintage singer @jenmerch for a brilliant performance. People were up dancing and singing along! 🎤🎵

And special thanks to Open Access Arts, Waitrose for kindly sponsoring our event, @jofoat for providing the team's outfits, our volunteers and Trustees, and to everyone who came along and made it such a special celebration!
