About
National Armed Forces Day in Wales is an annual celebration that honours the Armed Forces community, and it'll be held here at Caldicot Castle in 2025. 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.
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.
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.
Forces Fitness will be present with their 40ft inflatable assault course, hurdles, crawl net and Gladiator Pugil Stick Challenge. The South-East Wales branch of the Military Vehicle Trust will also be in attendance, the largest group of ex-military vehicle owners and enthusiasts in the World and the only charity dedicated to "keeping our mechanical veterans alive".
National Armed Forces Day in Wales will be free to attend, but tickets must be booked. Booking details will follow closer to the event.
