HADEN HILL V E DAY!

The war was over! Everyone was happy, and in 1945 #V E Day celebrations were held all over the country,  including Haden Hill House in the West Midlands.

 70 years later this lovely Victorian house and parkland celebrated again with patriotic red, white and blue bunting, entertainment, and WWII re-enactments.

Wartime rations were available for visitors including corned beef hash and jelly and "cream". The Home Front was still being encouraged to"Dig for Victory", (rationing was to continue for some years after the war) and plants and flowers were on sale.

Vintage and military vehicles were on display and a tea wagon provided a welcome wartime cuppa! Waving flags and wearing patriotic colours the re-enactors, and the visitors, re-visited the mood of Victory in Europe day and the 1940s. #Haden Hill re-captured the spirit of the occasion. It was a great day!
