On May 8th, 1945, the world erupted in joy as peace was declared in Europe. This year, we are bringing that electrifying spirit of freedom and relief to the Victoria & Albert Guesthouse. Step back in time with us to an era of resilience, hope, and pure celebration.

Dust off your vintage best and join us for an evening that honors the end of the war with high spirits, incredible food, and the “friendly and warm” hospitality that defined the 1940s.
