Burbage through the Second World War: Heritage Walk and Talk

Alas, this event is now sold out. But if demand is strong, we may be able to put on a second walk. Please contact us here if you are interested

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War — a milestone worth reflecting upon.

In commemoration, the Burbage Heritage Group will publish a book that shares the personal stories of 32 men from our community who made the ultimate sacrifice during the conflict. Their names are proudly listed on our magnificent war memorial.

To honour their memory, we invite you to join us on a mile walk through the heart of Burbage. The route highlights key locations from the early 1940s, offering insight into the buildings, homes, and events that shaped the village and played a role in these remarkable stories.

The walk will start from Burbage Library.

A glass of wine or soft drink on our return is included in the price of the ticket.

This event is appropriate for adults and older children aged 14+.
