Armed Forces Day National Event 2026
Rushmoor Borough Council announces BAE Systems as platinum sponsor for Armed Forces Day 2026 in Aldershot and Farnborough.
Looking for events in Farnborough this week? Or wondering what’s on and how to make the most of your time here? There’s a range of options appearing over the next seven days. This week includes activities for families and choices for evenings out. With a strong commuter focus, events are accessible via rail links from Farnborough North Station and Farnborough Main railway station, or by road using the M3 motorway and A331 Blackwater Valley Relief Road.
We’ve compiled details on outdoor events and community-focused happenings. The town has a high family-friendly index, so several events welcome younger guests and their parents. For evenings out, options are available, though Farnborough tends to be quiet and residential. You can also find arts and cultural experiences, offering things to do this week that suit a range of interests. With warmer weather returning, several activities focus on outdoor time. Consider using the Basingstoke canal towpath, though note that reports of a tunnel collapse affect this route. You’ll also find chances to connect with others and attend community gatherings. Keep an eye out for any aviation-themed events, honouring Farnborough’s history as the site of Colonel Samuel Cody’s first UK powered flight in 1908. The Farnborough International Airshow happens bi-annually, but not this week. While the Farnborough Market has reduced in size, it still supports local vendors.
Check the listings below for times and venues. Plan for possible congestion on the A331 and M3 during rush hour, and limited parking in the town centre.
