Keep calm and carry yarn... The Crafters mark 80 years since VE Day
Hertfordshire Mercury
|May 01, 2025
THE Secret Society of Hertford Crafters have returned with a yarn-bomb celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
The group has decorated Mill Garden - adjacent to Beam, formerly Hertford Theatre - to celebrate 80 years of dedication and service from the war effort in 1945 to those who help our communities in 2025.
A statement from the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters read: "We show how the sacrifice and service of so many people (and animals) in the past has led us to the present day."
