Portsmouth’s Armed Forces Day event returns in 2025, with displays and events on Southsea Common set for Saturday 21 June.

This special celebration for Portsmouth’s Armed Forces Day will involve parades, music, displays and a whole lot more. Open to all to come and support the Armed Forces and their families. No tickets are needed, people and families can just turn up and enjoy the event.

Why It Matters

Showing support provides a valuable morale boost to our sailors, soldiers and aviators. To learn more about their work in the UK and around the world, visit the official websites of the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force.

Support doesn’t end with Armed Forces Day. The Armed Forces Covenant is a national commitment by the government, businesses and local communities to support those who serve or have served.
