Charity of the Year

Charity of the Year: The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity

As the principal charity of the Royal Navy, RNRMC exists to support sailors, marines and their families, for life. With a strong focus on making a meaningful difference, the charity is driven by service, support, and integrity – values that closely align with the spirit of the show.

Inspirational Speakers

The RNRMC team hosted inspirational sessions and Q&As on leadership through adversity during our 2025 show, featuring World Record Holding adventurer Aldo Kane, members of the HMS Oardacious ocean rowing team, and the Royal Navy Sustainability Lead.

Upcycled Shop

The Upcycled Shop brought history to life with the Upcycled Royal Navy Life Rafts Range, a unique collection handcrafted from decommissioned Royal Navy life rafts and life-saving equipment. Instead of ending up in landfill, these durable materials were expertly repurposed into high-quality, practical accessories.

Workshops

The RMRNC interactive stand was packed with activities for all ages. Visitors took part in pop-up sustainability workshops such as “Make Your Own Upcycled Item” and children learnt about environmental impact through fun, hands-on sessions led by the Royal Navy’s dedicated sustainability team.

Toots, Boots and Friends!

RNRMC Mascots Toots and Boots delighted families across both weekends and during school visit days.

Live Performances

The Royal Naval Volunteer Band of HMS COLLINGWOOD attended the 2025 show on the 27th September, bringing ceremony and pageantry to the show with a live musical performance and traditional marching displays.
