The Not Forgotten

We are proud to have The Not Forgotten as our charity partner of 2024.

The Not Forgotten is a 103-year-old veterans charity which provides social events, respite breaks and challenges for veterans and injured serving personnel - improving physical and mental health, addressing isolation and loneliness, and encouraging community, camaraderie and support.

Since 1920 The Not Forgotten has supported over 10,000 veterans every year of all ages, ranks and backgrounds across all three military services and the Merchant Navy. Restoring dignity and independence and enabling beneficiaries to live a happier, more sociable and more confident life.

From respite holidays to Royal events, canoeing to concerts, and by providing TVs and tablets to those isolated at home, the charity brings veterans together, lifts spirits and transforms lives.

Veterans Day - 3rd April

Join The Not Forgotten to celebrate Veterans Day on Wednesday 3rd April:

See Regimental Piper Mike Shanahan play for the official Show Opening.

Join Annie Riley and Lloyd Ellery as they perform live on the Buskers Stage in the Eat & Drink Festival.

See inspirational veteran Kirk Bowett live on stage at the Super Theatre. Kirk will share how he reshaped his life and transformed his home and garden to make life safer, easier and happier after suffering life-changing injuries and having his world turned upside down.

Busker's Stage

We would like to thank The Not Forgotten for bringing a fun-filled timetable of song and dance to the Buskers Stage at the Eat & Drink Festival.

The Buskers Stage will be host to live performances every half hour throughout the show from Lloyd Ellery, Annie Riley and Jason Allen, who will be bringing some acoustic melody whilst you relish some delicious street food.
