Durham City Council have received an award to host a number of theatre productions that will reflect the life and time of WW2 and celebrate the 60th anniversary of WW2. Transport will be provided for schools and elderly groups to take them to and from the event at the Gala Theatre. In addition to these productions they will also have exhibitions, documentaries, story telling and poetry reading. The programme will culminate with an afternoon tea dance with entertainment and music of the 1940's era.
