One week to go. The Sapper Gathering is almost here.

On Saturday 25 April 2026, the Sapper Family comes together at the Royal Armouries, Leeds for a full day of connection, shared experience and Corps pride.

The programme, it’s packed with activity across the day, including:

• Steve Davies sharing powerful stories from restoring the graves of Britain’s forgotten service personnel

• Major Josh Warne on RE ocean rowing and the next team taking on the World’s Toughest Row

• Bradley Knight presenting Brimstone | A Searcher’s War

• A dramatisation reflecting on the Falklands War, focusing on Goose Green

• Live demonstrations including fi****ms and armoured combat

Throughout the day, the RE Ocean Rowing team will be on hand, alongside ‘Victory’, the ocean rowing boat they will crew in the World’s Toughest Row this December. A great opportunity to meet the team and see the boat up close.

The Gala Dinner is now fully booked, but there is still time to join us for the free daytime programme.

If you’re part of the Sapper Family - serving, veteran or family member, this is your opportunity to reconnect, learn, and spend time with those who share the same experiences and values.

🎟️ Register now to attend the daytime programme:
