Princes Gardens, Aldershot

A lovely garden with benches, statues and a bandstand. It's probably the prettiest bandstand I've ever seen.

Please visit @playgroundadventures and @digibirdadventures on Instagram and DigiBird Adventures on YouTube. Thank u.

Although it is a small area, it is a nice place for people to relax. It could, however, use a few more benches.

There was an amazing arts project which took place in June 2021 to celebrate Armed Forces Day 2021. It featured work from children and teachers from schools in the area. This is a day upon which the nation can have the opportunity to celebrate the Armed Forces community and to recognise all of the wonderful work they do to protect the UK.

The purpose of the project was for pupils to learn more about the armed forces and to thank the troops.

Over 4300 pupils took part and they were from 20 different schools.

The project explored the different skills which are needed to make the Army a success.

On Saturday 25 September 2021, large crowds gathered in the Princes Gardens to observe the unveiling of the statue of VC Kulbir Thapa Magar who won the Victoria Cross in September 1915. The bronze statue symbolises the Gurkha Soldier on a First World War battlefield carrying a British soldier to safety.

The statue honours the contribution that Gurkha Soldiers have made to the British Army.

***This place is where The Falklands 40th Regimental Anniversary took place on 18 June 2022. It was lovely and heartwarming to see so many people congregated to watch the Parade and show their appreciation. I took several photographs of this event and please feel free to look at them. The photographs also showcase the aforementioned 25 September 2021 event.***

Nice quiet park with memorials

This little park has morphed into a really space reflecting some of Aldershot's, more recent military history.

A small but well-maintained park with some formal planting, a grandstand and several statues representing the British Army's relationship with the town.

The latest statute is to Gurkha, Kulbir Thapa VC was erected on 25th September 2021.

This is a nice quiet place to sit and give silent thanks to those who served their country so well.Brilliant memorial of an airborne forces soldier ,also great to see the local Nepalese use the park as a meeting/resting place, their massive contribution to the UK should never be forgotten. Spare a few minutes to take a walk through, you will feel much better for it.

Nice gardens near the centre of town. Lots of benches to sit on and the bandstand has entertainment throughout the summer months. The flower beds are always pretty and well kept by the Rushmoor team.

The Aldershot Cracker had great stalls and traders. The day ended with a super firework display. Well done to Jenny and the team for a great effort and organisation of a lovely day.

Absolutely great night at the Princess Hall watching The Elvis Show amazing thank you Chris Conner and your band and backing singers, thank you also to the Princess Hall team 😀
