What's on
Join us in celebrating our Armed Forces, with a day filled with fun and entertainment for the whole family to enjoy and get involved with. There will be plenty of interactive displays, Veteran and military villages, military vehicles and equipment to explore, plus recruitment information should you feel inspired and want to find out about careers in the Armed Forces.
​
Don't miss the Poppy of Honour Memorial display which is a new addition to Plymouth Armed Forces Day this year. Encasing more than 1.1million individual remembrance poppies, the display can be found on The Belvedere overlooking Plymouth Sound.
