Plymouth Armed Forces Week is an annual event held in support of the national Armed Forces Day initiative.
With 50,000 attending the event last year we are continuing to improve our annual event on the glorious Plymouth Hoe, and with this in mind we are developing a spectacular two day event which will be known as Armed Forces Weekend, sponsored by Babcock International.

The intention of the weekend for Plymouth is to say a big Thank You to the Armed Services, their families and our veterans.
