The event will be incorporated into the annual St Mary's parish church Summer Fete from 2:00pm in the church and its grounds.
It will see the launch of Newington's 'Peace Tree' and time capsule project, a fitting tribute by pupils of Newington CEP, themed community activities and an exhibition compiled by NHG.
In 1919, the village gathered for a Peace Day and to honour its men who fought in the war. Most of the 131 who survived the conflict attended and received a souvenir gift.
To commemorate the occasion NHG has produced limited edition Peace Day mugs which will be available at £3.50 each.
The church's traditional village fete will include a family pets competition, a display of historic working farm machinery, new-born lambs, entertainment, games, tombola, strawberries and cream teas and more.
