On Saturday, 10th May 2025 we celebrated the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) with a picnic on the Stambourne Playing Field. Here you will find a collection of photographs from the day. We celebrated with live music, a VE Quiz, a VE Day talk, a selection of artifacts from the Ridgewell Airfield Commemorative Museum, donations of cakes, a very generous donation of yummy goodies from Iceland, and a lot of fun for the whole family!
