National Armed Forces Day 2025
2025-06-28 11:00 - 16:00
On Saturday, 28th June 2025, Monmouthshire will proudly host Wales’ National Armed Forces Day at the picturesque Caldicot Castle and Country Park.
This is an event that provides an opportunity to show support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community: from currently serving personnel including reservists to Service families, veterans, and cadets.
The aim of the day is to increase public support and appreciation and to bring the community together to celebrate Armed Forces Day in a family friendly, free to attend event marked by parades, military displays, and activities that provides an opportunity for the public to learn about the military’s role and contributions, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation.
The day will open to the public from 11am and run until 4pm during which there will be exhibitions and demonstrations across the site.
The day-long event has been organised in partnership with senior leads within the Army, Navy, and RAF. It will be a thrilling day, featuring various assets from the Armed Forces (these are likely to be, but not yet confirmed, a fly-past, parachute drops, military vehicles, future capabilities, Naval dive tank, etc.) and Blue Light Services, family entertainment, live music, exhibitions, food and drink, and many engagement teams from various regiments across the wide ranging military.
In recognition of the interconnectivity between the Armed Forces and Blue Light Services, we will also be showcasing the people and assets from Gwent Police, South Wales Fire & Rescue Service, Welsh Ambulance Services Trust, and Longtown Mountain Rescue Team. Third sector and charitable organisations will also be present to offer their services and raise awareness including: the Monmouthshire Veterans’ Support Hub, the Royal British Legion, SSAFA, Fighting with Pride, Woody’s Lodge, and more.
Forces Fitness will be present with their 40ft inflatable assault course, hurdles, crawl net and Gladiator Pugil Stick Challenge. The Southeast Wales branch of the Military Vehicle Trust will be in attendance who are the largest group of ex-military vehicle owners and enthusiasts in the World and the only charity dedicated to “keeping our mechanical veterans alive”.
This is a not-for-profit event coordinated by Monmouthshire County Council and is funded by a combination of Welsh Government grant funding, sponsorship, in-kind support, and funding from Monmouthshire County Council.
