Returning bigger, better and prouder than ever.
Following the huge success of last year’s event, we are delighted to confirm that Chichester’s Emergency Services, Armed Forces and Community Day is returning in 2026 – and this year, it will also be Chichester’s official celebration of our Armed Forces.
Join us for a day packed with activities, displays and entertainment for all ages:
• Emergency Services displays from across every sector, featuring a wide range of vehicles old and new.
• Armed Forces presence, celebrating and recognising the men and women who serve and protect.
• Live demonstrations throughout the day.
• Main stage entertainment, with live music, performances and community acts.
• Community and family zone, full of activities to explore and enjoy.
• Sussex Cosplay Alliance, bringing your favourite film and comic characters to life.
• Dog show and dog training with Paws for the Cause.
• Radio controlled car arena with the Turbo Titans team.
• Ktroo Bouncing Boots team - bouncing fun for all the family.
• Food from around the world, from Mexico to Thailand, alongside traditional favourites.
This is a free-to-attend event for everyone in the community.
There will be opportunities to donate to charities on the day for those who wish to support.
Whether you came last year or this will be your first time, we cannot wait to welcome you.
A day to learn, celebrate, discover and come together as a community.
More details, timings and participant announcements will follow as we get closer to the event.
Please save the date and share widely.
