Tameside Armed Forces Day 2025 is a fun day out for all the family, with an array of activities, workshops and performances on offer, and will be an opportunity for the Tameside community to show its appreciation of the contribution made by all those who serve or have served in Her Majesty’s Armed Forces.‍

The day will begin with a private luncheon for the veterans on Denton Civic Square at 12pm. The public event will be launched at 1pm in Victoria Park by the Mayor, and a specially curated programme of entertainment will commence on the bandstand all afternoon, including live music and dancing from from local dance schools and musicians.

There will also be a range of activities for children and adults alike, including climbing walls, inflatable axe throwing, face painting, arts and crafts, and much more! Also in attendance will be a number of vital support services and community organizations, highlighting how they can offer assistance. ‍

Please note that as there is limited parking in the surrounding streets at the park, the nearest public pay and display car park is situated on Queen Street. We hope you can join us for the Tameside celebrations!

Armed Forces Day is an opportunity to say thank you; to serving personnel, Reservists and Veterans. The event highlights the contributions that Service personnel make, and Veterans made to the defense of both the realm and to their local communities.
