On Thursday 8th May, from 2pm-4pm, Care UK’s Mowat Court, on Kirkton Road, is welcoming local people to honour the 80th anniversary of VE Day with its very own 1940s-themed garden party.
VE Day was celebratedon 8thMay 1945, after Prime Minister Winston Churchill made an announcement on the radio that the war in Europe had come to an end. This emotional news sparked celebrations across the country, with many taking to the streets for spontaneous parties.
At Mowat Court, the team has been hard at work organising their own special commemorative event, which will see residents and guests enjoy an afternoon of delicious party food, live entertainment and games as they embrace the spirit of the 1940s.
There’ll be plenty to enjoy throughout the afternoon, including themed games, friendly competitions, and classic party food – all designed to capture the fun and nostalgia of the 1940s.
Moira Taylor, Home Manager at Mowat Court, said: “Here at Mowat Courtwe’re always
grateful for an opportunity to strengthen our relationships with the community, so we’re
looking forward to welcoming people for a special event marking the 80th anniversary of VEDay.
“This is an incredibly important milestone for many residents, and we’re keen to honour all
those involved. Music is a fantastic way to bring back memories for older people and a
wonderful way to bring communities together, so we’re thrilled to have live entertainment to get everyone’s toes tapping.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming new and old faces into Mowat Court as we mark such
a significant moment in history.”
