Wymondham's parade forms at the Market Cross at 2pm on 8 November, leaves 2.30pm, with an Abbey service at 3pm. Armistice silence: 11am, 11 November.

Remembrance Sunday 2026 is Sunday 8 November, and Wymondham’s arrangements are already published. The parade gathers at the Market Cross at 2pm and sets off at 2.30pm, led by the Norwich Pipe Band, to the war memorial. The Remembrance service is in Wymondham Abbey at 3pm. All of this comes from the Royal British Legion’s Wymondham branch, which organises it.

Note that Wymondham’s parade is in the afternoon, not the morning.

The quick answer

Updated 30 September: the Wymondham branch has now published its Armistice Day arrangements, a two-minute silence at 11am on Wednesday 11 November at the war memorial on Town Green.

  • Wymondham: Sunday 8 November 2026. Gather at the Market Cross, 2pm. Parade leaves at 2.30pm.
  • Service at Wymondham Abbey, 3pm.
  • Armistice Day, Wednesday 11 November: two-minute silence at 11am at the war memorial, Town Green.
  • Diss holds its parade and service the same day. Diss Town Council has not yet published the times.

Wymondham: the parade and the service

The branch’s page gives four fixed points for 2026:

What Where Time
Parade gathers Market Cross 2pm
Parade leaves Market Cross, towards the war memorial 2.30pm
Led by Norwich Pipe Band
Remembrance service Wymondham Abbey 3pm

The branch has not published a route beyond “towards the War Memorial”, or the wreath-laying order. It also says nothing about road closures; if one is announced it will go on our roadworks and travel page.

Parking is free all day. South Norfolk Council’s charges run Monday to Saturday, so the four town car parks cost nothing on a Sunday. Details of each car park are on our parking page.

Diss: parade, Market Place and St Mary’s

Diss Town Council’s Remembrance page confirms the same date, Sunday 8 November 2026, and the shape of the day:

  • A parade along Mere Street of local organisations, veterans, community groups and young people.
  • Wreath-laying on the Market Place.
  • A Remembrance service at St Mary’s Church.

The council organises it with Diss and District Royal British Legion, the Salvation Army, St Mary’s Church, RAFA, the army and air cadets, Diss High School and 1st Diss Scouts.

What the page does not give yet is any time: not the muster, not the parade, not the service. The council office is on 01379 643848, or towncouncil@diss.gov.uk, open 9.30am to 1pm on weekdays.

Armistice Day

Armistice Day, 11 November, falls on a Wednesday in 2026. The Wymondham branch’s Armistice Day page says the two-minute silence will take place at 11am at the War Memorial, Town Green, Wymondham. It gives no other detail, such as a service or a parade, so plan for a short gathering at the memorial.

Diss Town Council has not published anything for Armistice Day.

Still to be confirmed

  • Diss parade and service times. Expected from Diss Town Council in October.
  • The Wymondham parade route and any road closure.
  • Any Diss event for Armistice Day on Wednesday 11 November.
