HMS Collingwood Open Day

About

This unique family event, which showcases the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity (RNRMC) Field Gun Competition, will also offer many fun-filled family attractions, with entertainment and displays designed to capture the imagination of everyone, whilst giving an insight into HMS Collingwood, Defence Training, the Royal Navy and other Armed and Public Forces.

There will be Interactive Zones for hands-on activities and parts of the establishment will be open to visitors, allowing them to see the Royal Navy's training equipment and experience some training first hand, including navigating a ship into harbour in our Warship Bridge Simulator.

The 2024 RNRMC Field Gun Competition will yet again see a range of crews from across the UK and beyond, competing for the coveted Brickwoods Tropy, with last year's winners, HMS Seahawk, hoping to win again!

This year's there we will see a special visit from the Raiders Parachute Display Team, a Military village, together with many fairground rides including the dodgems! Our children's area will see a petting zoo, inflatables attractions, pirate ship and so much more, all FREE OF CHARGE!!

This year we will also be supporting local businesses, encouraging them to showcase their produce at our event - #supportlocal!
