Armed Forces Day 2024

29th June 2024

This year Medway will be celebrating Armed Forces Day on Saturday, 29 June 2024 at The Historic Dockyard Chatham, a venue filled with centuries of Armed Forces history.

Enjoy colourful parades, live bands, singers, have-a-go activities, a commemoratory service and so much more.

In the heart of Chatham lies a treasure trove of history and valour: The Historic Dockyard Chatham. On Saturday, 29 June 2024 this iconic site will be the stage for Armed Forces Day 2024, a tribute to the brave men and women who serve their country.

Step into the grounds of The Historic Dockyard Chatham and be transported through time. Having played a pivotal role in defending the nation, every corner of this historic site tells a tale of maritime prowess and military service. In 2024, we mark the 40th anniversary of the closure of the Chatham Dockyard—an event that left a lasting mark on the local community. Join us as we honour this milestone and pay homage to the skilled craftsmen and sailors who worked and lived in this fascinating place.

At the heart of Armed Forces Day is the commemoration of the skill and sacrifice of our Armed Forces. On the day, you can enjoy colourful military parades, displays, bands and singers as we come together to celebrate the bravery of those who have answered the call of duty. Prepare to be captivated by a range of immersive experiences - from military displays to musical performances, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

The event is FREE with a pre-bookable ticket, find out more here. The event is now FULLY BOOKED.
