The Craigavon Civic and Conference Centre is set to host a memorable evening of music, history and remembrance on Thursday 8 May 2025 as part of the 80th anniversary celebrations of VE Day.
Running from 7.30pm to 9.30pm, this free community event invites locals from across the borough to gather and commemorate the end of World War II in Europe with a fitting programme of entertainment and reflection.
The evening will feature performances by the Corcrain Flute Band and the talented Jenny Chambers School of Speech and Drama choir, delivering a soundtrack that harks back to the spirit of the 1940s.
Attendees will also be treated to a serving of fish and chips — a beloved British meal that famously escaped wartime rationing — adding an authentic flavour to the night’s nostalgic atmosphere.
The event will also include a special address from local historian Richard Edgar, followed by the reading of a moving VE Day tribute.
To close the night, a symbolic Beacon Lighting Ceremony will take place at Craigavon Lakes, serving as a powerful reminder of the light and hope that came with the end of the war in Europe.
Spaces are limited for this commemorative evening, so early registration is essential.
