Join us for a truly special evening as we mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day with a spectacular celebration of music, dance, and nostalgia. VE Day 80 at the Gorleston Pavilion Theatre is more than just a show - it's a heartfelt tribute to the resilience, joy, and unity that defined the end of World War II in Europe. 

Hosted by the ever-charismatic Olly Day, this unforgettable night will bring together stirring performances, uplifting songs, and moments of reflection, capturing the spirit of a generation who fought for peace. Featuring the sensational Knightingales vocal trio, the rousing sounds of the Great Yarmouth Brass Band, and dazzling performances from our very own Pavilion Players Stage School and Summer Showtime cast, the evening promises a mix of laughter, nostalgia, and heartfelt tributes. 

Created in association with Bruno Peek, CVO OBE OPR, Pageantmaster of VE Day 80, this unique VE Day show is leading our Nation's theatres in the national celebrations/commemorations on this unforgettable anniversary on the 8th May, and will include the lighting of the Lamp Light of Peace at 9.30pm - a powerful symbol of remembrance and hope - and the singing of the hymn "I Vow to Thee My Country". Whether you lived through the era or are discovering its legacy for the first time, this is a night to celebrate, reflect, and be part of history in the making. 

Don't miss this chance to come together and honour 80 years of peace — book your tickets now for a show that will uplift, inspire, and stay with you long after the curtain falls.
