Event Description


Ely’s Eel Day & 75th Anniversary of the Victory in Europe (VE) Day

 (Part of Eel Festival Thursday 7th May 2020 – Sunday 10th May 2020)

Join us for a day to remember! On Friday 8th May, we are honoured to share Ely’s Eel Day with the National Celebration, 75 years of Victory in Europe (VE) Day. This year the day not only incorporates the Eel Parade but the procession will be led by a WW2 vehicle, together with the Army/Air cadets.

A full day of entertainment will follow which will encompass everything from 1940’s crafts for children to Eel Throwing Competitions (not real eels, just stuffed toys!), music, historical displays, food stalls and much more! The annual Eel Day Parade departs at 10.30am from Cross Green (adjacent to Ely Cathedral) led by a WW2 vehicle, followed by our Army and Air Cadets and band. Ely’s ‘Ellie the Eel’ will be following looking very patriotic as she wiggles her way to Waterside and into Jubilee Gardens where a whole host of eel related activities will be held. Special highlights include 1940’s singers, dancers, our wartime tribute and much more. FREE entry.
