New characters: Have you spotted our newest team members, soldiers from the parachute regiment and our wartime nurses? These came about when a visiting veteran asked if we could represent his regiment, and another talked about the efforts of nurses in years gone by.

What would you like to see in our future displays?

New display: Thank you to the residents of Cedar Court for creating this beautiful display. We love that you worked together on this while drinking tea and listening to nostalgic 1940s music 🥰

We hope you are all enjoying the displays around town?

Our main fundraising is our annual charity gala evening. Why not make an evening of it with friends and help us raise funds to maintain our displays for 2027 and beyond!?💃🏻🎙️🥂🍻🥰

Don’t forget to take a walk up to the Muffin Oven when you come to see our displays. And for anyone keen to take a poppy home, we have a selection of handmade items at Poppy's Coffee Bar - we simply request a donation for Royal British Legion.

New feature!

Carrier pigeons served as vital, silent battlefield messengers during World War I and World War II when traditional communication lines like radios, telephones, and human runners failed or were cut.

We might need their services in Whittlesey if this wind doesn’t calm down.
