Rutland Festival of Remembrance to take place at St George's Barracks on Friday 10th November 2023



The Rutland Festival of Remembrance will take place at St George's Barracks in North Luffenham on Friday 10th November 2023. The event will be hosted by the Lord Lieutenant of Rutland, Dr Sarah Furness.

The Festival of Remembrance is a celebration of all who have served or are serving in the Armed Forces. It is a time to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, and to honour those who continue to serve today.

The event will begin at 6.30pm with drinks and canapes. This will be followed by a concert featuring performances from Rutland's schools, the Military Wives' Choir, the Rutland Ladies Choir, and the Cadet Band.

The concert will be a mix of patriotic and traditional music, and will include readings and prayers. It will be a moving and poignant evening, and a fitting way to remember those who have served and fallen.

Tickets for the Festival of Remembrance are £25 and can be purchased from the Lord Lieutenant of Rutland's website. All proceeds from the event will go to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.

The Festival of Remembrance is a popular event, and tickets are expected to sell out quickly. Anyone who is interested in attending is encouraged to book their tickets early.

Why is it important to attend the Festival of Remembrance?

The Festival of Remembrance is an important opportunity to remember and honour those who have served or are serving in the Armed Forces. It is a time to reflect on the sacrifices that have been made for our country, and to express our gratitude to those who continue to serve today.

The Festival of Remembrance is also an opportunity to come together as a community and show our support for our Armed Forces. It is a chance to learn more about the role of the Armed Forces in society, and to appreciate the contributions that they make to our country.

If you are able to attend the Rutland Festival of Remembrance, I encourage you to do so. It is a moving and poignant evening, and it is a fitting way to remember those who have served and fallen.
