Wednesday 24 August is Ukrainian Independence Day and the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk is extending an open invitation to the local community to join an event of reflection.
On a day that will also coincidentally mark 6 months since the conflict began, at King’s Staithe Square there will be a gathering to demonstrate the continuing support of the people of the borough for the people of Ukraine.
To mark Ukrainian Independence Day, on both 23 and 24 August, the Corn Exchange and Custom House will be lit in the colours of the Ukrainian flag.
On the afternoon of 24 August, a day that would normally be marked by family celebration in Ukraine, the council has arranged for local Ukrainian families to enjoy two of this year’s blockbuster films, Minions and Jurassic World, at the Corn Exchange. Both have been dubbed into Ukrainian. These will be followed by the event of reflection later in the evening at 9pm.
