Fun Day for Armed Forces

A free family fun day will be held in Wolverhampton to mark Armed Forces Day 2025.

The event, at West Park on Saturday 28 June from 12pm to 4pm, will celebrate the Armed Forces and all they do for the city and the country, and promises a wide range of activities for people of all ages.

Mayor of Wolverhampton Councillor Craig Collingswood, who is also chair of the City's Armed Forces Covenant Board, said: “I hope as many people as possible from across the city come along to Armed Forces Day and show their support.

“Wolverhampton has a special relationship with our Armed Forces as do I with my son serving in the British Army, and this fantastic, free and fun event for all the family is a wonderful way to mark this.

"I look forward to seeing you there, joining the festivities with you and celebrating all that the Armed Forces do to defend our nation at home and abroad."

Highlights include an Armed Forces Parade at 1pm, along with funfair rides and inflatables, live music, street food and bar traders, a smoothie bike, motorcycle display, military exhibition and face painting.
