On Sunday 11 May there will be something for everyone as the museum marks Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) which is on 8 May.
2025 is 80 years since the end of the Second World War with Victory in Europe Day, and Victory over Japan Day on 15 August.
In the morning the museum will be hosting Portsmouth-based singer Nathalie Gunn who will be singing songs from the 1930s and 1940s.
While in the afternoon you can learn how to swing dance, in particular the Lindy Hop with The Swing Dance Company who will be giving dance lessons and a performance of the dance.
The D-Day Story’s military jeep will be on site and there will be a number of craft activities for children to take part in, from creating you own paper flowers to pinwheels and bunting.
Be sure to check out the café which will have VE Day inspired special of the day.
Portsmouth City Council Leader Cllr Steve Pitt said: “This year’s VE and VJ days have extra significance because it’s the 80th anniversaries, and there’s no better way to honour and celebrate than at this special event at The D-Day Story museum.”
The event is included in the museum admission price, with annual pass holders being able to experience it for free.
