Littlehampton Armed Forces Day date confirmed by council

The memorable day will return to the seafront greens on Saturday, June 25.

You can expect to see the involvement of uniformed groups, military vehicle owners and military charity fundraisers, as well as area displays, band performances, a charity fair, stunt display, a static spitfire attraction, a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight flypast, and a aerobatic display.

Take a look at the Armed Forces Day event in 2018.

The event is supported by Harbour Park and will begin with a seafront parade and a drumhead service on the green.

The council said applications are now open for anyone who wishes to have a pitch in the charity fair or display their vehicle or memorabilia. The deadline for bookings is April 3.

Chair of the community resources committee, Councillor Billy Blanchard-Cooper, said: “I’m absolutely delighted that our Armed Forces Day event will be returning to Littlehampton this summer.

“The charity fair is a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness and much needed funds for services charities. I look forward to seeing all of our wonderful local groups at the event.”
