Coventry Armed Forces Day 2026 🪖

The Lord Mayor of Coventry, Cllr Roger Bailey, is encouraging everyone to join this year’s Armed Forces Day Service and Parade on Saturday, 27 June 2026 in Broadgate, Coventry.

The day begins with a Church Service at Holy Trinity Church at 10:30 am, followed by a Parade into Broadgate at 11:30 am. Expect vibrant displays featuring military vehicles, a boat, and a fire engine — a wonderful opportunity for families to come together and show appreciation for our veterans, serving personnel, and cadets.

Armed Forces Day is a chance to honour those who have served and continue to serve our country. Schools are encouraged to share this event with pupils and explore the learning resources available on the official Armed Forces Day website.

Let’s celebrate our community’s spirit and support for the Armed Forces.

Good luck to everyone taking part in the Children’s Mile at Memorial Park today at 9am! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💨
