Join us in commemorating the end of the Second World War in this jam-packed FREE family event day.

Meet WW2 characters on our old street and join in a sing-along. Handle historical objects, design your own badge and have your hand painted with henna. Join in a Dig for Victory activity and learn about make-do and mend. Meet members of the Manchester Regiment 1914-18 group to discover the kit and equipment that soldiers would have used.

This event has been funded as part of a VE and VJ Day commemoration project supported using public funding by UK Government through Arts Council England and Museum Development North.
