On Sunday 8 November 2026, the public is invited to gather opposite the War Memorial for the Act of Remembrance. The service is scheduled to begin before the 2-minute silence at 11am, with attendees asked to arrive from 10:45am. Veterans and serving personnel wishing to pay their respects closer to the memorial should inform the Town Council's event staff for a reserved area.
Following the Act of Remembrance, a traditional parade will proceed down the High Street.
Armistice Day will be marked on Wednesday 11 November 2026 with an Act of Remembrance and a 2-minute silence outside the Town Hall. Gatherings should take place no later than 10:50am.
These events are organised in partnership with the local branch of the Royal British Legion and the Chippenham Armed Forces Veterans Breakfast Club, and will be led by the Mayor of Chippenham.
