Join us for Summer at the Base
Wednesday, 30 July 2025
The Charity is celebrating its 35th year of operation in 2025. The Summer at the Base event offers exciting activities for all ages and takes place on the front lawn of the airbase with a prime view of the helipad and helicopter (subject to operations).
Visitors of all ages can also look forward to appearances from the cuddly mascots, paramedic bear Wilber and pilot bear Marsha, CPR demonstrations, games and plenty of food and refreshment stalls available.
Entry to the event costs £5 per adult, and children under 12 enter for £1.
“We are excited to be holding our second Summer at the Base event, this year celebrating our 35th anniversary,” says Chloe Holtom, event planner at Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity. “It’s a chance to celebrate the vital work we do together with the local community. The support we receive from these events help us be there when we’re needed most.”
There will be a fantastic selection of local traders to browse, offering everything from handcrafted jewellery, gifts, and sustainable stationery to a fully licensed bar, baked treats and pet supplies.
