The Emergency Services Show is scheduled for Sunday 13 September 2015, and the organisers are delighted to announce that the show has just been awarded charitable trust status.
The Emergency Services Show was started in 2005 by a committee of volunteers from Wiltshire Police, Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service, South Western Ambulance Service and the Highways Agency. Their mission was to raise some much needed funds, highlight some essential community safety messaging, raise the awareness of some of the lesser known blue light services and demonstrate the collaborative working of all the Emergency Services.
Last year’s show raised over £30,000.00 and the organisers are hoping that this 10th anniversary show will be even more successful.
2015 sees the start of a new e-ticketing solution which should speed up the ticket buying process, and reduce queuing to get into the show – buy tickets online
