Somme 110th Anniversary

The 1st July 2026 marks the 110th Anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, one of the defining battles of the Great War and a turning point in British history. Heralded as the ‘Big Push’, in one day alone more than 57,000 men became casualties, and in a battle that lasted 141 days it would become the graveyard of the Pals, of Kitchener’s Army. Join us as we travel to the haunting Somme battlefields and attend the ceremony at Thiepval on the anniversary.
