Air Bridge

This is an event held at Newark Cemetery – at a special memorial near to the Polish War Graves – usually around the third Sunday of September.

Newark Town Council has taken over the whole organisation of the event, (it was previously organised by the Airbridge Association).  The service remembers the 250 airmen who lost their lives during the Air Bridge operations, which helped the Warsaw uprising in 1944.  People from all over the country and Poland attend, and wreaths are laid.  Refreshments are then served at the Town Hall.
