Plymouth Armed Forces Day

This family-fun event will once again be action-packed with air displays, fly-pasts, parades and live music 

22 - 27 June 2026

Armed Forces Week in Plymouth is an annual celebration that honours the men and women of the British Armed Forces - past and present - and recognises the city’s strong military heritage.

Plymouth is one of the UK’s most significant military cities, home to the largest naval base in Western Europe, so Armed Forces Week is a big deal locally. The week usually builds up to Armed Forces Day, with events taking place across the waterfront, city centre and Hoe.

You can typically expect:

  • Military parades and ceremonial events

  • Armed forces displays, vehicles and equipment

  • Flypasts and naval presence (where scheduled)

  • Live music, performances and family-friendly entertainment

  • Opportunities to meet serving personnel and veterans

  • Community events celebrating Plymouth’s links to the Royal Navy, Army and RAF
