Trowbridge Town Council’s annual Uniform Services Day will take place in Trowbridge Park Saturday, 13th September, from 11 am to 4 pm.
Our 2024 event had over 70 exhibition stalls from Armed and Uniform Services, entertainment, attractions and activities, charity and retail stalls, and food and drink stalls, along with a full schedule of performances and displays in our arena and on the stage.
Within our Military and Uniformed Service zones, exhibitions had equipment, vehicles, memorabilia, and demonstrations. Armed Forces exhibitions included the Ministry of Defence, the Royal British Legion, the SSAFA (the Armed Forces charity), the Royal Air Forces Association, the Royal Air Force Air Cadets, and the Trowbridge Army Cadet Force.
Within our Fire & Rescue zone, there was Wiltshire Search and Rescue, Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service, and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Wiltshire Police and the HMP Prison and Probation Service will be in our Police and Justice zone, with Wiltshire Air Ambulance, and St John Ambulance in our Medical zone.
Musical performances and displays were held throughout the day in the arena and on the stage.
The Kid’s Zone had face painting and glitter braids alongside fairground and inflatable rides! For the older kids and adventure-seeking adults, we had a climbing wall and an interactive shooting experience. Our roaming tank performance and Paw Patrol characters were out and about too!
This event was be a great family day out and a fantastic opportunity for the Armed and Uniform Services to engage with the community and for the public to show their support.
