An exhibition celebrating the huge significance of Exbury in the Second World War will be mounted at The Palais on Saturday and Sunday; and then on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd June.
Much of the planning for the landings in Normandy, known as Operation Overlord, took place at nearby Exbury House, which was requisitioned by the Royal Navy in 1942. The stately home became known as HMS Mastodon and during the war years, it was staffed by more than 100 Wrens (Women's Royal Naval Service personnel). These Wrens were instrumental in the planning and training for the Normandy Landings, with landing crafts built nearby at Buckler’s Hard.
