North Lincolnshire gets ready for Armed Forces Day

North Lincolnshire Armed Forces Day returns to Scunthorpe on Saturday 22 June with a schedule packed full of parades, displays, military equipment, live music and much more.

The talented The Veterans Big Band will be making a special appearance as part of the jam-packed timetable alongside the flag raising, land-based displays, musical performances and family activities that are all taking place at Brumby Hall Sports Ground in Scunthorpe from 11am to 5pm.

It is always one of the most popular events of the year and a free day out for the family. This year’s line-up is better than ever, with a packed timetable of activities and events for all the family to get involved in.

It’s a chance to show support for the men and women who make up the armed forces community: from those currently in service, to veterans, cadets, and their families.

Things planned to keep the whole family entertained include:

• A parade featuring Cadets and Veterans from the tri-services.
• An interactive Cadet Village with games, challenges and more.
• RAF Air Cadets Band performance.
• Army Cadets Field Drill displays.
• Twin Tigers Martial Arts displays.
• Coritani Creative Taiko Drumming performance.
• Scunthorpe RUFC Exhibition Match.
• Kazbah Theatre ‘Chips & Fish’ puppet performance.
• Climbing Wall.
• Paintball Range.
• Mobile Bike Events BMX bike course – have a go sessions.
• Kids funfair rides.
• Stalls for local groups and organisations.
• Arts, crafts, and creative play.

A range of food and drink stalls will also be there on the day, including ice cream, doughnuts, burgers, Greek street food, cakes, fudge, iced slush, and an outside bar. A dedicated picnic area will be available next to the stage and attendees are welcome to bring their own blankets and camping chairs to use whilst enjoying the event.

A much-anticipated flyover is expected to take place by the legendary Lancaster Bomber, but this is subject to weather conditions on the day and operational requirements.
