Fundraising events

As custodian of Remembrance, The Royal British Legion is best known for the Festival of Remembrance and our annual Poppy Appeal.

However, as well as our more traditional events, we also organise a whole range of events throughout the year and there are lots of ways for you to participate and show your support.

Special events

With these events the emphasis is just as much on having fun as it is on supporting the cause. We organise annual sponsored bike rides to France, as well as the annual celebration of St George's Day at St George's Hanover Square and the sell-out Christmas Celebration at Guildhall. The Legion enjoys strong links with the racing fraternity and benefits from charitable sponsorship on race days at a number of racecourses.

Golfing Events

For those with an interest in golf, there is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy your golf in a competitive manner and also demonstrate your support for The Royal British Legion by taking part in the Poppy Appeal Golf programme.

Seniors Golf ask Golf Clubs throughout the country to hold a day in aid of the Poppy Appeal. It can be the entire Club, Seniors Section, Ladies Section — everyone is welcome. Each player receives a commemorative ball-marker with the distinctive poppy logo and the winner in each Club or section receives a specially minted gold medal. Many Clubs hold this event annually and in the past few years, golfers across the country have raised over £100,000 for the Legion.
