Southwick Revival 2025
D-Day to VE-Day: The road to victory
Revival 2025 built on the success of previous years and delivered one of our most ambitious events yet, raising an incredible £75,000 for charities and good causes.
This year introduced several new immersive experiences, including the 21st Army Group D-Day Camp and the French Quarter.
Expanded re-enactor groups, enhanced village displays, and a wide range of upgraded activities helped bring Southwick’s wartime story to life in vivid, authentic detail.
Revival 2025 marked another milestone in our mission to celebrate, educate, and honour the legacy of D-Day — and all those who served.
