Our 5th year, building on the success of 2024 and 2025, the Lancaster & Morecambe District Armed Forces Day will evolve into a full weekend, starting Friday 19th to Sunday 21st June 2026.

This event is for all pillars of the Armed Forces Community, for the general public to show their appreciation for the Armed Forces and Blue Light Services. We have over 100 stalls ranging from charities, STEM events, industry partners, vendors and military organisations.
