Redcar & Cleveland Armed Forces Day

Redcar & Cleveland Armed Forces Day 2026, organised by Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council in partnership with Royal British Legion Redcar Branch and Redcar Rotary Club, will take place Saturday June 27th, on High Street, Redcar – in the area of the King Edward VII Memorial Clock.

The event will commence at 10.15am with a parade of military personnel, both past and present, marching along the High Street – this will be followed by the official opening ceremony and the Raising of the Colours.

There will be entertainment throughout the day with musicians and singers, military pipes and drums, cadet drill displays and competition, and children’s activities.

The High Street will have a range of stalls hosted by both military and local civilian charities and, subject to weather and availability, the highlight of the day will be a military aircraft flypast in the skies over the town. (TBC)

This will be a fun-packed event for all ages and refreshments will be available throughout the day.

The event will finish at 4pm, following the Evening Colours ceremony at 3.30pm.

Armed Forces Day is the town’s chance to show its appreciation for our Armed Forces – past, present, and future.

We value your support and we look forward to seeing you there.
