Scunthorpe event highlights armed forces commitment

North Lincolnshire Council is set to host Armed Forces Day on Saturday 21 June at Brumby Hall Sports Ground in Scunthorpe, reinforcing its ongoing support for the armed forces community and its Gold status in the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme.

Running from 11am to 5pm, the free public event will feature military displays, cadet parades, musical performances, and a wide range of family-friendly activities. A key highlight includes a scheduled appearance by the Red Devils parachute team. The programme also features field demonstrations by army cadets, live music, and interactive exhibitions.

Beyond its public appeal, the event reflects a broader commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant, promoting engagement between local authorities and the defence community. It presents an opportunity for local businesses and employers to demonstrate their own support for veterans and service personnel.

Operational details include parking provisions, controlled entry, and restrictions on alcohol, dogs (except service animals), and bikes. The site will host various vendors and community stalls, with contingency measures in place for weather-related disruptions.

Organisations interested in participating in the parade or accessing additional information are advised to contact North Lincolnshire Council’s events team in advance.
