In May, we would have been hosting The Forces March for the 10th time however, that is not possible due to the Covid19 crisis so, we have decided to create a fabulous challenge instead.

We want people to complete the distance of The Forces March, 135 miles, throughout the month of May and raise money for The Veterans Charity whilst doing it!

Walk, run, cycle, hop, skip or jump. How you do it doesn’t matter. Stay safe, follow distancing guidelines, keep fit and make a big difference!

* POSTPONED TO 2021 DUE TO COVID19

We are hosting a terrific FREE event in Barnstaple's historic town centre to commemorate the 76th anniversary of VE Day and to raise funds for The Veterans Charity to help provide immediate needs support to Veterans facing hardship and distress.

​

• Live music throughout the town centre
