**CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS for 2020**

The spectacular Stoke-on-Trent Military Tattoo is back for its annual show this year on Saturday 2nd May 2020.

Raising funds for ABF The Soldiers’ Charity, the performance is a great family friendly evening and ceremonial showcase for the British Army, featuring all its varied musical traditions, with the Regulars, Reserves and the Army Cadet Force all represented.

Subject to confirmation, the 2020 Tattoo will feature the Bands of The Mercian Regiment and Nottinghamshire Royal Engineers, Pipes & Drums of the Scots Guards Association (Manchester), Grenadier Corps of Drums of Staffordshire ACF and the Bligny Band & Bugles of Shropshire ACF.

The first half of the programme will be in concert format.  After the interval there will be a Ceremony of Beating Retreat, Massed Bands Grand Finale, Sunset and Lone Piper, with Standards of local Regimental and Veterans’ Associations.

Before the performance, outside the King’s Hall, there will be vehicles and stands from local Regular and Reserve Army Units.  This is an excellent opportunity for you to talk to the soldiers to discuss their activities, experiences and take a closer look at the equipment on display!

What time does the event start?

Doors and bars are open from 17:30, with access to the Army stands outside.  The Tattoo performance will start at 18:30.
