Remembrance Sunday is 8 November. Parade times for Weston's Grove Park, Portishead High Street, Nailsea and Clevedon, and the road closures to plan around.
Remembrance Sunday is 8 November 2026, and North Somerset’s four towns each hold a parade. Weston-super-Mare’s goes to the War Memorial in Grove Park, Portishead’s is on the High Street, Nailsea’s steps off at 10.20am, and Clevedon’s is in the afternoon. Only Nailsea Town Council has confirmed its 2026 time so far. The others are shown with last year’s timings, which have been steady for years.
The quick answer
- Weston-super-Mare: parade from the Italian Gardens at 10.25am into Grove Park, silence at 11am at the War Memorial.
- Portishead: Act of Remembrance at Stoke Road and the High Street, silence at 11am, service at St Peter’s Church at 11.30am. The High Street is closed 9.45am to 12.15pm.
- Nailsea: parade 10.20am on 8 November 2026 (confirmed). Clevedon: procession 2.30pm from Salthouse Fields to St Andrew’s Church in 2025.
Weston-super-Mare: Grove Park
Weston-super-Mare Town Council runs the Act of Remembrance at the War Memorial in Grove Park. For 2024 it said the parade of serving and retired military, cadets, scouts, guides and other uniformed groups assembles in the Italian Gardens. The Mayor and dignitaries process from the town council’s Waterloo Street headquarters, and a band leads the parade off at 10.25am for the short march into Grove Park (Weston-super-Mare Town Council, 2024).
The service includes music, readings, prayer, the National Anthem and wreath laying. At 11 o’clock the Last Post signals two minutes’ silence, ended by Reveille. After the formal parade, the public can plant crosses or other tributes at the Field of Remembrance beside the War Memorial. The council asks people not to do this during the service, and it puts the order of service online to read on a phone (Weston-super-Mare Town Council, 2022).
The 2026 notice has not been posted yet. The council’s last three notices went up in early to mid-October.
Portishead: High Street
The Portishead branch of the Royal British Legion publishes its parade timings (Royal British Legion, Portishead):

The branch estimates 5,000 people line the High Street. The closures cover the High Street between Church Road South and Combe Road, Stoke Road and Church Road South, with diversions via St Peter’s Road, Slade Road and Combe Avenue. Any car not moved by 9.45am cannot leave until 12.15pm. The branch says its timings may change at short notice.
