999 Day returns this year

Fareham Borough Council is pleased to announce that 999 Day will be returning to the town centre this year.

This popular and free event will take place from 10am until 4pm in the pedestrianised area of West Street on Saturday 21 June 2025. Local emergency service heroes will be proudly displaying their vehicles and talking to visitors about the important work they do. Those attending include the Police, Fire Service, South Central Ambulance Service, RNLI, Hampshire Search and Rescue, Coastguard and many more. 

Visitors will have the opportunity to see up close the vintage and independent emergency service fire engines and American Police cars. In addition, children will be able to enjoy free emergency service themed activities and games under the podium with Wonder Tots. The pop-up beach will be open as usual from 9am until 5.30pm near B&M inside Fareham Shopping Centre, where children can play in the giant sandpit for free.

Executive Member for Leisure and Community, Cllr Connie Hockley, said:

“I am delighted that the ever-popular 999 Day is returning this year. This free event is a wonderful way to thank our wonderful emergency services for the incredible work they do, and families will love the opportunity to meet the heroes who keep us all safe.”
