VE Day Celebrations at Inspire

Join us in celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day with a range of inspiring events and activities taking place across Nottinghamshire this May. From exhibitions and talks to community gatherings and hands-on heritage experiences, there's something for everyone to enjoy as we honour this important moment in our shared history. 

Working in partnership with Nottinghamshire County Council, Inspire is proud to tell the story of Nottinghamshire during World War Two in the Victory in Nottinghamshire exhibition, highlighting local contributions, personal memories, and the spirit of communities who came together during extraordinary times. Explore the exhibition in two of our libraries, or browse the online exhibitions VE Day Community and VE Day Armed Forces on the Inspire Picture Archive.
