The Great Remembrance Convoy

The Great Remembrance Convoy – Honouring Our Heroes

Join us for the very special Remembrance Convoy, where we come together to honour those who have served and sacrificed. Whether you’re paying tribute to the fallen of our Armed Forces, the brave men and women of the Emergency Services, or a loved one, this event offers a unique and meaningful way to remember and show your respect and gratitude.

All makes and model of campervan & all VW owners are welcome to join the convoy.

We will meet at Brindley Drive before setting off, proudly displaying poppies, Union flags, and personal tributes. There’s no right or wrong way to decorate - it’s your vehicle, your tribute. Please note that you DO NOT have to decorate your vehicle to join us.

Convoy Route & Remembrance Service

The convoy will travel in unity to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, arriving at approximately 09:45.

At 10:45, we will gather for a remembrance service, standing together for 2 minute silence, the last post and a short service. After the service, you're free to explore the gardens at your own pace. The gardens will close at 5pm.
