      Join us at The Poppy Factory on Thursday 8 May for a special celebration to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day. Our open afternoon will coincide with national events to remember the end of the Second World War in Europe. Our veteran workers and their families were among those who took to the streets of London to celebrate the end of the war in 1945. Chat to our expert hosts and volunteers, watch special VE Day presentations and view lesser-seen parts of our historic factory. Hot drinks, refreshments and special VE Day 80 Victoria sponge cake will be on offer, with music from the era adding to the spirit of celebration. Timed free tickets for the open afternoon are available (maximum 4 per booking).

    3. Chestnut Sunday is a much-anticipated, family-friendly celebration held annually in Bushy Park. This cherished event pays homage to the magnificent blossom of the horse chestnut trees that line Chestnut Avenue, an iconic feature of the park planted over 300 years ago. The event serves as a vibrant community gathering, combining tradition, entertainment, and a celebration of local culture. A highlight of Chestnut Sunday is the colourful parade that proceeds down Chestnut Avenue, showcasing an array of performers, vintage vehicles, and community groups. Visitors can also enjoy a lively funfair with rides and attractions suitable for all ages, making it a delightful experience for families.
