We were entertained, delighted and moved (physically and emotionally) by the superb actors, writers, singers and entertainers from @BostinCreative - they brought the stories of WWII and VEDay to life in poignant, thoughtful, sensitive and joyous ways. Congratulations and thanks.
It was an absolute delight to welcome you all - we loved telling our stories to such a special audience.
We are honoured to have our @alva_uk council meeting @Nat_Mem_Arb especially in the week between the 80th anniversary of #VEDay80 and the 85th anniversary of the evacuation of Dunkirk. The arboretum is a very special place - of commemoration, thanks and reflection.

Last night we were treated to superb hospitality by @Nat_Mem_Arb for our @alva_uk Council reception and dinner. Moving performances, celebration, reflection, joy and fun. Thank you to all the NMA team, and partners, for a truly memorable evening.
We’re ready and waiting to welcome you all.
Today visitor attraction and tourism leaders from across the UK are travelling to @Nat_Mem_Arb near Lichfield for the @alva_uk Council meeting. Tonight we’ll have a reception and dinner, themed to commemorate #VEDay80, and tomorrow we’ll have our business conference.
