This year all of the proceeds will be donated to Marie Curie with a raffle to be drawn on the day with some fantastic prizes on offer including; afternoon tea for 2, signed rugby and football tops, spa day, family tickets to various City Centre attractions, restaurant vouchers, hairdressing vouchers, holiday vouchers, golf vouchers and theatre tickets.
The Open Day is free entry, but will have a limited capacity. However please remember the event is running from 11am to 3pm so feel free to pop in to see us throughout the day!
As much as we love furry friends due to our police dogs/horses being in attendance only guide dogs will be permitted entry on the day.
Please note – the attendance of some specialist police resources and emergency partners will be subject to operational requirements.
– You may be searched prior to enetering the event arena.
