Back in 2019 a small group from the veterans community who meet each month at Vivary Park Golf Course Clubhouse as part of the Veterans Breakfast Club chatted about putting on a Taunton Armed Forces day, within a little under 3 months Wilton Lands next to Vivary Park was filled with displays, performers and local stalls. Following this early success the group decided to ‘think big’ and gained agre

ement to hold Armed Forces Day in Vivary Park and Wilton Lands, sadly due to Covid the 2020 & 2021 event was cancelled, however the event returned in 2022 and has been a massive success each year since. With hundreds of stalls, displays and much more, we look forward to welcoming you at our next event!

The reenactment group The West Country Tommies WWI Re-enactors will be with us on Saturday 4th July.

Why not immerse yourself in the history of WW1, by visiting the their display and experience what our grandfathers or great grandfathers would have gone through when they served during WW1. Check out the kind of uniform they would have been wearing, the weaponry they would have carried.

These guys really do capture the spirit of WW1. They are totally dedicated in preserving this time period, they capture the spirit of WW1 and tell the stories of those serving during that period.
