THIS year’s Victory in Europe Day celebrations at Farnham’s Gostrey Meadow, looks set to be bigger and better than ever.

Farnham’s Royal British Legion has been busy arranging activities to entertain visitors.

There will be a historical area, covering World War II and the Homefront with interactive games, as well as a living history of military and artillery equipment.

A husband-and-wife team will also be attending in their vintage caravan, acting as World War II ARPs (Air Raid Precaution) wardens.

Among the stalls will be a vintage hairdresser, vintage clothes, floral, jewellery, knits, cards and plaques.

There will be children’s fair rides, a falconry display and Mr Rod Type – the magician.

Refreshments will be available from the vintage tea room, as well as burgers and hotdogs served by the Farnham RBL team.

The day, which takes place on Saturday, August 19, from 12pm to 5pm, will be compered by Davey Geer and from 7.30pm there will be an evening tea dance and raffle at the Liberal Club in Farnham.

Any local businesses willing to contribute in the form of raffle prizes and so forth, are invited contact Ian Hunter, (Farnham RBL branch secretary) at [email protected]. All proceeds raised will go to the Royal British Legion.
