Join us at Newbold Comyn to light the beacon in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of VJ Day - Victory over Japan - which marked the end of World War II.
Due to the extreme weather and very dry ground conditions, we will not be lighting the beacon with fire this year. Instead, the beacon will shine brightly with lights, still symbolising the Light of Peace in a safe and beautiful way.
- Refreshments available to purchase from 7pm
- Music from 7:30pm
- Speeches from 8:20pm
- Beacon lighting at 8:30pm
As it will be dark at the time of lighting the beacon, please ensure you bring with you a torch or other adequate lighting.
