The 2018 National Event will be held in the historic North Wales seaside town of Llandudno in Conwy on Saturday 30th June 2018.
North Wales has many current and historic links to the Armed Forces, including many Regular and Reserve Army units. The town’s national event will be a fantastic focal point for the UK to come together to acknowledge the hard work and sacrifice of those that serve.
