Within government restrictions Brentham went to town to celebrate the 75th anniversary of VE Day. Many houses were festooned with bunting and several people had afternoon tea in, or just outside, their front garden. Here is just one little corner of Brentham celebrating – recorded by resident and filmmaker Angela Kay.
If you have any photos of your celebrations please send them to archive@brentham.com and we will post a selection.
The 9th of May would have seen the annual May Day celebrations taking place in Brentham. However government restrictions mean our event, like many others, cannot go ahead. Instead we give you a Virtual May Day.
Here you can have just a glimpse of what might have been.
But we’ll be back – put Saturday 8th May 2021 in your diary for next year.

CALLING ALL BUNTING MAKERS/OWNERS!
This Friday 8th May is worth celebrating: it’s the 75th anniversary of VE Day and it’s the start of a Bank Holiday weekend. We’re living through rather different times at the moment but perhaps we need cheering up now more than ever.
Individual streets may be organising their own celebrations (socially-distanced of course) but if you have bunting lurking in a drawer somewhere, or can get your children to help make some, please put it out in your front garden – ideally before the Thursday 8pm clap for key workers – and let’s have A BRIGHTER BRENTHAM!
