Remembrance 2026: Events taking place across Shropshire this November

Communities across Shropshire will come together this month to honour fallen service personnel and pay tribute to those who have served their country.

Remembrance events offer communities the chance to honour and reflect on the courage and sacrifice of those who have served to defend our freedoms and safeguard our way of life.

Commemorative events for Remembrance Sunday (November 8) and Armistice Day on Wednesday, November 11, will take place throughout the county over the coming days.

Here are some of the remembrance events taking place in Shropshire in November 2026.
