Swindon Fire Station will host a family open day on Saturday 27 June 2026, inviting the local community to visit the station and support charitable causes. The event will take place from 11am to 4pm, with a designated quiet hour held from 10am to 11am for visitors who prefer a calmer environment.

The Swindon Fire Station event will feature live fire service demonstrations and displays, including vintage fire engines. Families can participate in activities such as face painting, a children’s corner, and visit various stalls, including a tombola.

Fundraising efforts during the day will support two organisations: The Fire Fighters Charity and Young Lives vs Cancer South Fundraising. The station is also inviting local businesses to donate prizes for the tombola and raffle by contacting [email protected].
