Join us for an afternoon to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day.

A special selection of items from our archives and DLI collections will be on display for visitors to view in our Collections Room, including items belonging to the Durham Light Infantry as well as how ordinary people in County Durham celebrated VE day in May 1945. Collections staff will be on hand to answer questions.

You can also enjoy some classic British favourites in our café, with special VE Day related offers running from Saturday 3 May until Saturday 10 May.
