Armed Forces Week 22-27 June 2026 – 3 local events for your diary
We’re fast approaching that special, dedicated time of year for showing our support and appreciation to the UK Armed Forces – from regular serving personnel and veterans to reservists, cadets, and their families. And of course a special mention to RAF Odiham which holds a special place in local hearts.
To mark the start of Armed Forces Week, everyone is welcome to join the Parish Council, RAF Odiham, community representatives and local schools for a flag raising ceremony on Monday 22nd June, 11am, at Beacon Field. Refreshments provided.
The popular Bands in The Bury festival is back on Saturday 27th June, Armed Forces Day. Join the InOdiham team from noon for an afternoon of amazing live music from incredible bands, excellent food and good old Odiham community spirit.
inOdiham encourage you all to “bring your friends, bring the kids, bring a picnic blanket… and get ready for an unforgettable day!”
