Stowmarket will play host to Suffolk’s 2026 Armed Forces Day celebrations, with military fanfare and a full day of family fun to recognise and celebrate the contribution of the armed forces community.
The free event, organised by Mid Suffolk District Council in partnership with Stowmarket Town Council, will take place from 11am to 3pm at the King's Meadow Recreation Ground on Saturday 27 June and brings together service personnel, veterans, families and the wider community for a day of both fun and reflection.
The day’s schedule features tributes to our local military bases, including speeches, a display of historic military vehicles, and a ceremonial salute with detachments from Wattisham, Honington and Rock Barracks in Woodbridge.
Visitors will be able to enjoy live music from a number of performers, including a 30-piece brass band, Honington Military Wives, and The Vibettes – a 30s style swing duo. There will be a range of family-friendly games and activities, such as face painting, soft play and inflatables, alongside a range of stalls from local businesses, community organisations and charities.
