Armed Forces Weekend

Calling all Armed Forces and Veterans – Clacton Pier is laying on a free weekend of fun for you and your families.

The attraction stages the two-day event annually and is hoping for another good turnout of the troops.

The pier is offering free unlimited rides for up to four people this weekend (Saturday September 13 and Sunday September 14) handing out special family wristbands from its ticket box.

Thanks to local groups and organisations, vintage military vehicles will also line-up on the pier forecourt adding to the atmosphere and there will be an opportunity for photographs.

The offer is open to all serving members and Veterans on production of a valid service ID or a DDS official Veterans discount card.

The wristbands will include all rides except the Big Wheel and Go-Karts.

A similar event was staged for the Emergency Services in June and hundreds of wristbands were handed out to families.

The pier will remain open to all of its other customers across the weekend.
