VE Day Celebrations
2025-05-05 | Redcar and Cleveland, Various Locations
THE 80th ANNIVERSARIES OF VICTORY IN EUROPE AND VICTORY OVER JAPAN
This year marks 80 years since Victory in Europe (VE) Day when the Second World War came to an end in Europe. The long-anticipated news resulted in millions celebrating the end of the war, with street parties, dancing and singing across the country. The war in the Far East did not end until 15 August 1945, when Japan surrendered, which was celebrated across the world as ‘Victory over Japan’ (VJ Day), the end of the Second World War.
The Second World War touched every aspect of life and had a devastating impact on those who experienced it, and for the generations after. From the sailors, soldiers and aviators who fought, to children who were evacuated, and all those who stepped into essential roles on the home front, we owe our freedoms of today to the Second World War generation who 80 years ago paid the ultimate sacrifice in giving generations lasting peace. It will be a time for us to come together to listen to their stories and reflect on their values that ensured the Allied victory – service and selflessness across our nation.
We are hoping Street parties, BBQs and community get togethers will be held across the Borough echoing the celebrations 80 years ago.
In support of any celebratory events, you may hold Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council are waiving any costs incurred from road closure applications.

EDAN at 20
2025-06-12 08:30 - 2025-07-11 16:45 | Heritage Gallery at Cargo Fleet, Cargo Fleet Offices, Middlesbrough Road, TS6 6XJ
You’re invited to the next exhibition at The Heritage Gallery at Cargo Fleet: EDAN at 20
The exhibition will be open with free admission, 12th June – 11th July 2025, Monday – Friday, 8.30am – 4.45pm.
The official opening evening is on Thursday 12th June, 5pm – 7pm, which offers a great opportunity to meet members of the artists and ask any questions you may have about the work on display.
“It has been twenty years since a group of artists from the East Durham area realised that there were no organisations or groups in East Durham that would encourage and support their continuing artistic development, and no designated local sites for exhibiting their work. They created East Durham Artists’ Network (EDAN) to fill the gap.
In 2025 we celebrate the success of that initiative.
EDAN is now a fully constituted not-for-profit company with a membership of over fifty professional and amateur artists and supporters who work in a wide range of media. It is committed to furthering the skills and interests of its members through a process of mutual support, investigative learning, and engagement with other groups and activities that encourage practice relevant to the concerns of local audiences.
Members run a small gallery in Seaham on a voluntary basis and have a programme of exhibitions throughout the year. The gallery programme enables them to present their work professionally, following their own enthusiasms and using their preferred media. At the same time, it includes themes and subjects that are relevant to local people, whilst understanding that the area is never isolated from wider regional, national and global changes.
For EDAN members, exhibiting work is a focal point for encouraging conversation with audiences, about valuing different voices, and enhancing awareness of the range of talent in our region that is often overlooked in the wider national and international arts scene. We value our industrial history and wish to celebrate that. At the same time, we live in a time of change and dynamic global connections that impact on everyday lives. Addressing these questions is a consistent concern in our art.
The work in this exhibition is representative of the range of current member interests. Each artist has chosen a selection from their own portfolio that is representative of work they have produced as a consequence of their involvement with EDAN. This is the culmination of twenty years of consistent voluntary and developmental activity. Our relationship with the Heritage Gallery is an important part of that.
To find out more about EDAN and its artists visit their website, edanart.co.uk”

Redcar Kite Festival returns to the skies above Majuba Beach following the success of last year’s inaugural event. The free family-friendly festival will welcome some of the largest and most spectacular kites in the world, celebrating Redcar’s natural environment as the wind whips off the sea and sends the kites spiralling skyward in a spectacular display of colour and movement.
Each day there will be kite flying displays by the Northern Kite Group in beach arenas including:
• kite displays to music
• Stunt kites
• Chinese dragon
• Kite ballet to music
• Inflatable kites
• Rainbow Deltas – chance for children to fly a kite.
Times will vary according to the wind conditions but there will be kites in the sky from 10am – 4pm both days.
There will also be free workshops in our Marquees-by-the-Sea including kite making workshops so you can fly your own kite and fun science, art and craft activities.
Children in our local schools and community groups will be making kites in the run up to the festival and a professional kite maker has also been commissioned to work with local groups to create a fantastic kite dedicated to Redcar.
Amazing walkabout performers will celebrate Redcar’s coastal location. On Saturday come and say hello to Cali and Mali – giant stilt walking octopi. They have 8 legs, three hearts and are very friendly. Their companion Captain Barnacle will be helping them navigate the Kite Festival crowds.
On Sunday All at Sea will welcome the debonair Maritime Captain Monty Montague who will be piloting his luxury cabin cruiser whilst towing his gorgeous water skiing wife Minty.
And throughout the weekend, look out too Nimbus and Cumulus The Cloud Travellers. Riding high aloft their cloud-top homes, they drift and dance gracefully along to accompanying music, interacting with those they meet along the way. Watch as they cast magical raindrops from the tips of their fingers!
