Welcome to Wilton

🎖 Remembrance Sunday: Next Weekend 🎖

Next Sunday, 8th November, Councillors will join with the HM Lord Lieutenant of Wiltshire, Dame Sarah Troughton DCVO, and members of our community to take part in the Remembrance Day procession and Church service.

West Street will be closed from the Market Square to the Church of St Mary & St Nicholas from 10:15am to 10:30am to allow the procession to take place.

The service includes 2 Minutes’ Silence at 11am, and concludes around 11.15. This is followed by the laying of wreaths at the War Memorial (in front of the church), by representatives of the Town and County Councils, Wilton Veterans, local business and community organisations, Emergency Services, Scouts, Guides and the Parish Church.

We would like to invite residents to join us to honour those who served, and continue serving, in our Armed Forces.

This is a very well-attended service. To be sure of a seat, please make your way into church by 10.20am.

Serving members of HM Armed Forces are welcome to attend in uniform.

Following the Church service, the Mayor will be hosting a short reception at Wilton Community Centre, to which everyone is also invited.
