\"\"We’re excited to be celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u00a0 are going to open the tower for visitors on the Bank Holiday (Monday 5th May) – you can climb the stairs and see the bells and watch the clock that make such a significant contribution to the soundscape of an English village.
\nThere’s lots more!<\/p>\n

During the day you’ll find Craft Stalls in the Church, a demonstration of bell ringing, children\u2019s 1940s games, live 1940s music, 1940s-style cake, sweets & pop stall.
\nBring your picnic blanket, dress the part, and enjoy a truly nostalgic community day.<\/p>\n

In the evening there will be a special 1940s Supper in the Kildwick Parish Rooms with a themed menu, music and dancing.\u00a0 Tickets from Coffee and Crumbs.<\/p>\n

You’ll find more details of the day on our VE-80 Page<\/a><\/strong> as they are finalised.<\/p>\n

On VE Day itself (Thursday 8th May), we will be joining bell towers all across the country as they ring out at 6:30pm to celebrate the ending of the war.\u00a0 Provided the weather is suitable, we will hold the doors open so that you can watch as the band swing a total of three tons of metal in a dizzying arc, all timed to a fraction of a second.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
