Armed Forces Day 2025

We're are pleased to announce the Shropshire Armed Forces Family Fun Day, proudly supported by Wace Morgan solicitors, as part of the county’s celebrations for Armed Forces Day. The event is a family-friendly day full of activities, whilst allowing visitors to show their gratitude towards Armed Forces personnel, both past and present.

The event will take place at Shrewsbury Castle on 14 June 2025 from 11am and 3pm, will be free to attend, and give visitors the chance to learn something new about the UK’s Armed Forces.

Throughout the day, there will interactive activities for all the family from local emergency services, charities and a range of children’s activities. Visitors can also enjoy a line-up of live music throughout the day and a number of local food & drink stalls.

Event highlights not to be missed includes tours of the Castle, children’s activities and free SmartWater tagging of military medals. Both Shropshire Council and Wace Morgan are holders of the Armed Forces Covenant Gold Award and have been recognised for their respective efforts to provide exceptional support to the Armed Forces community.

As well as hosting the family fun day, there will be other offers to benefit both serving personnel, veterans and their families. These offers will be confirmed closer to the date of the event.
