Fire engines, rescue demonstrations and family entertainment will take centre stage this summer as the Midlands Fire & Rescue Show returns to Staffordshire for a two-day celebration of emergency services and public safety.

Taking place on 27 and 28 June at Statfold Country Park near Tamworth, the event will bring together modern and historic fire and rescue vehicles, specialist emergency service equipment, charities and exhibitors from across the region. 

The event is being organised through a partnership between the Yorkshire & Lancashire Fire & Rescue Emergency Vehicle Group and Statfold Country Park. The Yorkshire & Lancashire group is recognised as one of the UK's largest organisations dedicated to preserving and displaying fire and emergency service vehicles and memorabilia.

Visitors will have the opportunity to watch live rescue demonstrations, showcasing techniques used by emergency responders in a range of real-world scenarios. 

Alongside the emergency service displays, the show will feature traders, charities and specialist exhibitors, offering visitors a chance to explore both the history and future of rescue services. A variety of heritage fire engines, ambulances and other emergency vehicles will be on display throughout the weekend.

Families are also expected to enjoy a range of attractions available within Statfold Country Park, including unlimited train rides, museum access, woodland walks, mini golf and soft play facilities. The venue's award-winning railway will be operating throughout the event, giving visitors an opportunity to combine the rescue show with a wider day out.

A special attraction for younger visitors will be appearances by Chase and Marshall from PAW Patrol, who will be meeting guests during scheduled sessions across both days. Organisers have confirmed that the character appearances will be included within admission, although advance booking of time slots is recommended.

As a gesture of appreciation for emergency service personnel, free admission is being offered to Blue Light Card holders, using the code BLUELIGHTFREE26 at checkout.

Running from 10am until 4pm on both days, The Midlands Fire & Rescue Show takes place at Statfold Country Park, Ashby Road, Tamworth, on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 June 2026. Tickets can be purchased at statfold.com/midlands-fire-rescue-show.
