Walkergate a great spot to watch the parade come along from the barracks.
THIS SATURDAY: Minden Day Parade (Saturday 1st August) commemorates the Battle of Minden in 1759, when the local regiment fought against the French. đź’‚
Legend says soldiers plucked flowers from hedgerows on the way to the battle, and now the local regiment/veterans are presented with a rose, which they wear when parading from The Barracks, along Walkergate and down to the Guildhall
The parade will leave Berwick Barracks at 12.30pm.
It is an impressive sight to see the old KOSB members marching with the band leading, and the presentation of roses at Berwick Barracks, followed by a march through the town (Parade, Walkergate, Marygate, Guildhall, Church Street, Parade), with a salute taken by the Civic party at the Guildhall.
The parade is for KOSB veterans only, but this year, HMS Berwick veterans are due to march too; however, Berwickers and visitors can watch the old and bold of their local Regiment march through their Depot town.
Minden Day Parade will take place on Saturday, 1st August 2026.
