Please join us to support this year's Annual Parade and Service of Remembrance on Sunday. The annual event provides an opportunity for the Stamford community to come together and remember the service and sacrifice of all those that have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.

The event will start with parade of military personnel, veterans, cadets and members of the Royal British Legion. The Mayor of Stamford, Councillor Jane Kingman, will address the crowd before a short service led by The Reverend Dr Jenny Lander.

A two-minute silence will be observed, led by The Royal British Legion, and wreaths will be laid at the War Memorial.

The event will conclude with the National Anthem before the Parade marches off.

Please gather in Broad Street from 10:30am on Sunday 8 November.

URGENT UPDATE

Unfortunately due to the high winds forecast for much of tomorrow, we have had to postpone tomorrow’s Spooktacular event at the Rec. We do apologise for the short notice, unfortunately the adverse weather conditions mean we cannot guarantee a safe and pleasant event.

We are investigating the possibility of rescheduling the event to next weekend, so please do keep an eye on our social media channels for updates.
