The Keep Military Museum in Dorchester will be offering free admission on Saturday, June 24 as part of nationwide celebrations for Armed Forces Day.

As well as free admission to the museum galleries and rooftop terrace, there will also be free children's activities, information stalls, military and re-enacting displays and more.

The free open day is being held as part of Armed Forces Day, the annual national campaign that gives everyone the opportunity to show their support for the men and women of the Armed Forces past and present, including currently serving troops, Service families, Reservists, veterans and cadets.

Similar events have been taking place across the UK, enabling people to come out and show their support, and giving a much-valued morale boost for Armed Forces personnel and their families. This year's national event takes place in Liverpool.

The museum will be open for free from 10am to 4.30pm.

The Keep Military Museum is the regimental museum of the Devonshire and Dorset Regiments, in Dorchester, Dorset. Built in 1879, the historic building houses a military collection of over 75,000 objects.
