Beyond VE
A Commemoration in Poppies
Can you knit or crochet a Poppy?
In partnership with Finchley WI, we are asking you to help create a community installation of knitted & crocheted poppies. These will be displayed on the main House throughout November following an installation day, when you can come along and attach your poppy/poppies.
The end of the war saw the biggest movement of people in European history so following our celebration of the anniversary of VE Day last year, we remember those who were lost, those who were displaced and those who came home.
All patterns are welcome, but we have attached some patterns here for you to download should you wish. You can also drop your poppy of at the main house
We are also looking for donations of wool and black buttons to use as centres. Red for members of the armed forces, White for civilians and Purple for animals that served
