Lakenheath Alliance For Peace - Monthly Vigil
2024-10-26 12:00 - 14:00 (Europe/London) | RAF Lakenheath, Chester St, Lakenheath, Brandon, IP27 9PS, United Kingdom
It is important to keep our peace space by the main gate at USAF Lakenheath active. The Lakenheath Alliance for Peace will therefore be organizing monthly vigils.
This is a lot to take on, so the Lakenheath Alliance for Peace hope other groups will take the opportunity to join some of these vigils, using their time to look around the base, familiarize themselves with the layout of the base to ready themselves for future actions and perhaps to leaflet the surrounding villages and towns.
These will be at the main gate of RAF Lakenheath between 12noon and 2pm on the last Saturday of every month (except December 28th)
Contact vigils@lakenheathallianceforpeace.org.uk for more information.
A leaflet for the vigils can be downloaded here.

Stop US nukes – national demonstration at Lakenheath
2024-11-02 12:00 - 15:00 | RAF Lakenheath, Chester St, Lakenheath, Brandon, IP27 9PS, United Kingdom
CND is organising the next national demonstration at RAF Lakenheath in protest against US nuclear weapons returning to the base.

Since April 2022, there has been growing evidence that the US intends to use RAF Lakenheath as a major part of NATO’s nuclear weapons infrastructure in Europe. US budget documents show that the base’s weapons storage silos are being upgraded to store the new B61-12 guided nuclear bomb, and new dormitory buildings are being built to house additional military personnel needed for any potential nuclear weapons mission. Washington also intends to double the amount of nuclear-capable F-35 aircraft it has stationed at Lakenheath to 54, as part of efforts to increase its military presence in Europe.
They’ll be assembling from 12 noon outside the main gate with speakers including Melissa Parke, ICAN’s Executive Director. They’ll also be (unofficially!) declaring Lakenheath a nuclear-free zone!

‘Kick out Trump’s nukes’ – national demonstration at RAF Lakenheath
2025-09-20 13:00 - 15:00 | RAF Lakenheath, Chester St, Lakenheath, Brandon, IP27 9PS, United Kingdom
As part of the actions to condemn Trump’s “shameful” state visit, join CND at Lakenheath to say loud and clear that neither he nor his nuclear bombs are welcome here!
“Evidence is clear that US nuclear weapons have arrived in Britain – at the Lakenheath NATO base in Suffolk. These deadly weapons make us all a target. And they increase the risk of Britain being dragged into Trump’s reckless wars.
The majority of the population totally understand how these nuclear weapons don’t make us safer. That’s why a majority oppose their deployment here in Britain.”

International Peace Camp 2026
2026-04-01 - 2026-04-06 | RAF Lakenheath, Chester St, Lakenheath, Brandon, IP27 9PS, United Kingdom
Join Lakenheath Alliance for Peace for the International Peace Camp – a peaceful resistance to nuclear weapons, militarisation and war.
Here’s what LAP say about the event:
Accommodation:
Camping – bring your own tent, sleep in a marquee, or on the floor of the hall. £5 – £10 a night.
In a bed – book into the local Travelodge at Barton Mills, find a local bnb, or locate local residents offering a bed for the night.
Catering: We will be providing vegan meals with gluten-free options. Donations will be collected at mealtimes.
Transport: A shuttle bus service will give lifts to and from the nearest stations, the base, the viewing area, and the village hall. Volunteers with their own cars will also provide lifts.
Workshops: there will be workshops and training at the maingate during the day, and in the evenings at the village hall.
NVDA training: training for nonviolent direct action needs to happen before the camp, rather than during it, so that affinity groups can get together and are well prepared in advance. Please contact us if you are interested.
Banner-making and artwork: We will be collecting and encouraging creative people to get creative again!
Music and singing: the more the better! We are considering another choir day…
Wellbeing: a wellbeing space will be available at the base and at the hall.
Actions: being there is a vital action in itself, and allsorts of other actions are needed too, big and small, to raise the profile and get much needed publicity. A means of communicating about the actions you want to take will be provided. Please contact actions@lakenheathallianceforpeace.org.uk
Fund-raising: All this costs money, and while grant applications are being made, donations are still needed. Please encourage your peace / justice organisations to donate on the LAP website…. £30 from 60+ LAP alliance organisations would make a big difference!
