Armed Forces Day 2025

We are excited to welcome back our Armed Forces Day to The Nest – a family fun day celebrating our Armed Forces community.

Come along to The Nest from 11am and get involved in a range of family fun activities like our Challenge Woods treasure hunt, a metal detector dig and our Indoor Flight Simulator. There’s also plenty of Armed Forces-themed celebrations, such as our Forces2Canaries Walking Football Tournament and our ration pack tasting.

At 11:40am the City of Norwich Pipe Band will also lead a military parade of service personnel and veterans.

Serving personnel or veteran yourself? Feel free to wear your uniform or display your medals, we can’t wait to hear your story.

The event is open to the public and has an entry fee of £1 per person.
