A day of celebration and family fun is set to return to Trowbridge Park.
Trowbridge Town Council has announced the return of Uniform Services Day, taking place on Saturday, September 12, from 11am to 4pm.
The event will feature exhibitions, performances, and hands-on activities for all ages, highlighting the work of armed and uniformed services.
A town council spokesman said: "After such a positive response from attendees, we’re happy to announce that Rapidshot and our climbing wall will be returning, giving kids and adventure-seeking adults the chance to enjoy an interactive shooting experience or test their skills with a climb.
"For those who would prefer to keep their feet on the ground, you can have your caricature drawn for free."
Exhibitors will include Wiltshire Police, Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance, St John Ambulance, and WAGS Retired Police Dogs.
Armed Forces displays will feature organisations such as the Ministry of Defence, Royal British Legion, Royal Air Forces Association, Royal Air Force Air Cadets, Sea Cadets, and Trowbridge Army Cadet Force.
The Fire & Rescue zone will host Wiltshire Search and Rescue, Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, and UK Mines Rescue, all offering interactive demonstrations.
Arena and stage entertainment will run throughout the day, with performances from Wiltshire Caledonian Pipes & Drums, Frome K9 Dog Displays, wartime dancers, and local musicians Luke and Ash.
Younger visitors can enjoy face painting, meet Paw Patrol characters, and spot Bubble Fairies and Roman soldiers roaming the park.
Historical displays will include a 1960s AMX-13 tank, with crew members on hand to share its story.
Food and drink options will be available from Planya, Picnic Canteen Bath, and Everyone’s Brew, while Boo’s Bakehouse, T+B’s Delights Churros, 1st Choice Sweets, and Ice Queen will satisfy those with a sweet tooth.
The spokesman said: "Don’t miss this fantastic chance to show your appreciation for our uniform services, past and present, and enjoy a great family day out."
