WE'RE SAYING THANK YOU TO THE WORLD WAR 2 GENERATION

80 years ago the guns fell silent in Europe on the world's second global war.
It is time to think about all of those who gave their lives and also lived through those tragic times.

MALPAS "VE80 – THE HOME COMING" – FOUR DAY EVENT

.

Project Objectives

  • to remember and honour the soldiers who gave their lives during World War 2 and are listed on the Malpas War Memorial
  • to recognise the hardship endured and sacrifices made by local residents during the 1939 – 1945 period.
  • to provide a comprehensive cross section of events that will be of interest to our current village residents, thus helping newcomers to the village, to get to know our history, thereby enhancing our overall community spirit.

The Four day event is taking place in Malpas on 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th May 2025 marking the 80th Anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day.
