VE Day' Celebrations

2020 marks 75 years since Victory in Europe or VE day, when the Second World War finally came to an end.

Like so many other villages, towns and cities, Ledbury has its own history and community entwined with the sacrifice and commitment of those who fought and gave their lives. The town’s Royal British Legion Club, who support serving and exserving armed force personnel and their families, is marking this significant milestone by celebrating a week of VE Day with events starting from Saturday 9th May. The Club would like to welcome the Ledbury community and those from further afield to join them (non-members welcome), with all events taking place at the Ledbury Royal British Legion Club on Church Street.
