2018 show date

by ESS Media

The Emergency Services Show will be returning to Cotswold Airport on Sunday 16 September 2018.

Our Show is organised by a charitable trust, made up of volunteers drawn mainly from Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service, Wiltshire Police and South Western Ambulance Service.

Our Chairman of the trustees, Chris Harvey, said: “The Show was held at Cotswold Airport for the first time last year and we had a great time, despite the worst weather we’ve ever had to contend with! We’re delighted to be back there for 2018, and we look forward to welcoming old friends and meeting new visitors.”

He added: “Our focus is to provide a great day out, while promoting the work of the emergency services both in Wiltshire and beyond. The Show is a great opportunity for charities, community groups, businesses and others to get their messages across to a wide audience and in an informal setting. We provide a safe environment to learn about your local emergency services, view displays and demonstrations, take part in activities, get safety advice and meet your local emergency service teams.”

Jo Welch, Head of Events & PR at Cotswold Airport, said: “We are thrilled to be sponsoring the Emergency Services Show again this year.  Our showground site worked really well as the venue for this incredible show last year, even with the awful weather conditions, so we are delighted to have been selected again this year.

“We have close links with all the Emergency Services and support them in many guises throughout the year, from fire training to accident investigation exercises.  We wish the ESS team the very best of luck with this year’s event and very much look forward to another great day out and hope for sunny weather!”

One of the main drivers of the Show is to raise money for organisations that support the work of the emergency services, and donations totalling more than £150,000 have been made since the first event in 2005.

£35,000 granted to beneficiaries of the Emergency Services Show

by ESS Media

On Friday 9 September the Emergency Services Show (ESS) committee were delighted to grant £35,000 to 18 charities and blue light organisations that support the show.

The evening celebration took place on Friday 9 September at Police Headquarters in Devizes and the money was raised from our tenth show which was held in 2015 at Hullavington Airfield.

We also celebrated with our volunteers and recognised their hard work and dedication to the show.

The ESS committee, made up of ten members from all three services rely on the support of our volunteers who work tirelessly to help us set up, set down and ensure the show is a success and helps us connect with local communities from all over the south west.

Chief Constable Mike Veale attended the evening and presented certificates and cheques to the beneficiaries said: “The show highlights the excellent work of the emergency services and raises much-needed funds for such good causes.

“A massive thank you from myself to all the volunteers and committee members who painstakingly pull the annual event together, your dedication and passion for the show shines through.

“Seeing all the recipients at the event, I could see clearly how much this money will benefit organisations and charities which do so much for the public.”

We are still planning the 2017 show and hope to shortly be able to announce the venue and date.

We would like to thank all of the volunteers who have supported us over the years as well as our sponsors and supporters.

Last years show was sponsored and supported by Vodafone, Grist Environmental, Forces War Records, Primetech, SAM FM, Ideal Displays, Nurdens, Green Meadow Recovery and Thamesdown Transport.
