The Mayor's Events

Remembrance Sunday Parade and Service

Residents will have the chance to remember those who've been killed in conflict fighting for their country at the annual Remembrance Sunday Parade and Service in November.

The parade normally sets off from Week Street and marches along the High Street, past the Town Hall, across the Bridge Gyratory and to the Memorial on The Broadway for the Service of Remembrance. The service includes the national two minutes silence at 11am and the laying of wreaths in memory of those lost in wars both past and present.

The Mayor of Maidstone will lay the first wreath on behalf of the people of Maidstone. After the Service, the parade will march back into Maidstone where the Mayor will take the salute outside the Town Hall.

Rolling road closures are planned in the town centre to allow the procession to pass through. These will be lifted as soon as possible, however some delays are expected.

Roads affected by the rolling closures often include:

• County Road
• Sandling Road between the White Rabbit roundabout and County Hall
