Forties Night  November 2025

On Friday 7^th November, Milton Village Hall was transported back in time for a truly memorable 1940s Night, filled with music, dancing and nostalgic charm. The hall looked splendid, draped in bunting, Union Jacks and authentic 1940s style props, creating the perfect atmosphere for an evening of wartime spirit and community fun.The highlight of the evening was a captivating performance by Jessica, one of the D-Day Darlings, who delighted everyone with a selection of unforgettable wartime songs. From rousing sing-alongs to heartfelt ballads, her performance brought the era to life and had everyone joining in.

Many residents embraced the theme, arriving in vintage outfits, and the dance floor was busy all night as guests waltzed, danced and sang along to familiar tunes.

The event also served as a fundraiser for village hall improvements, and thanks to the generosity of everyone who attended an impressive £760 was raised.

It was truly a night to remember – a perfect blend of community spirit, history and fun. A big thank you goes to everyone who helped decorate the hall, organise the event, and, of course, to Jessica for her wonderful performance.
