FIVE-DAY CELEBRATION WILL BE KICKING-OFF ON THURSDAY

- By JOSEPH RICHARDS

RESIDENTS can celebrate all that's great about their county as part of the ninth annual Staffordshire Day.

This year's bumper celebration will start on May 1 and run through to Bank Holiday Monday on May 5, providing plenty of opportunities to take part in a busy countywide programme of events, many of them free.

The National Memorial Arboretum, in Alrewas, will host 'The Year was 1945 - VE Day Celebrations (May 3 to 5) with a free weekend of activities inspired by the street party spirit of 1945.

Live performances, including vintage 1940s inspired dance workshops, will set the scene for the celebrations, which will culminate at the end of each day with a mass visitor singalong.

The first official Staffordshire Day took place in 2016 - the year the county turned 1,000 years old.
