VE Day 80 - local events

A snapshot of activities in the Buckingham and Bletchley constituency

It is an honour to take part in events across Buckingham, Bletchley, Tattenhoe, Winslow and the many villages in between over the next couple of weeks.

I’d love to see as many local people as possible celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day, and the heroic efforts of our veterans. Here, my team and I have pulled together a list of events going on locally - do bring your friends and family!
