The 2026 Battle Proms concerts took place at historic stately homes across the country this summer, with thousands turning out to enjoy an evening of live music, aerial displays, and pageantry all in aid of SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.

Thanks to the generosity of audiences and organisers, the 2026 concerts – held at Burghley House, Hatfield Park, and Highclere Castle – raised more than £35,000 for SSAFA, bringing the total raised since the partnership began in 2018 to £372,756.
Georgia Kay, Special Events Manager at SSAFA, said:
“From the spectacular fireworks displays and the Red Devils’ hair-raising jumps to the thrilling cavalry displays, it’s been a truly memorable season – and thanks to the incredible generosity of audiences, some of whom come back year after year, we’ve raised an amazing £35,052.
“We’re truly grateful for every contribution and for the wonderful support we’ve received throughout the season. Thank you for helping make it such a memorable one.”
Emma Dexter, Marketing Manager for Battle Proms, said:
“One of the real highlights this year was seeing audiences get involved, from learning to jive at the jazz tent right through to singing along with Proms favourites at the finale, and that sense of fun and togetherness is what makes the Battle Proms so special.
“Our partnership with SSAFA adds to that spirit, with their volunteers bringing incredible passion and energy to every event. It simply would not be the same without them.”
The 2026 SSAFA Battle Proms season may be over, but there are many other ways to support SSAFA as it supports the whole Armed Forces family. From golf to running, and from cycling to skydiving, there is a way everyone can help.
