VE Day 80 Anniversary Event & VJ Day 80th Anniversary Event

Thursday, 8 May 2025

2025 sees the 80th anniversaries of both VE Day and VJ Day. There will be a parade from The Avenue to Chipping Hill, where there will be a bar, fish and chips and a band while we await the lighting of the beacon at 9.30pm. The parade will start at 8.15pm and will be led by the Essex Caledonian Pipe Band. At Chipping Hill, the band will be the Bocking Concert Brass Band.




On the evening of 6th June 2024, the residents of Witham came together to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.  Our parade, filled with members of local groups, Councillors and residents, was led by the Essex Caledonian Pipe Band from The Avenue down to the River Walk at Chipping Hill Bridge where, after a short service, a beacon was lit.
