The North West’s biggest celebration of the emergency services returns to the Trafford Centre on Thursday 6 August, and we will once again be taking part with our biggest display to date.

Running from 10am to 4pm, the event takes place on Car Parks 10 and 11, which are part of the Orient Car Parks*. It’s a free, family-friendly event that brings a full day of action, hands-on activities, and insights into the work of emergency services across the region.

We’ll be joining colleagues from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, Greater Manchester Police, the British Army, the RNLI, and many other organisations.

Visitors will be able to meet representatives from a wide range of our teams and services on the day, including our Hazard Area Response Team (HART), emergency ambulances, patient transport service ambulances, call handlers, Careers and Education Team, NWAS Charity, staff networks, and ambulance museum curator Glyn, who will be showcasing a range of memorabilia and vintage ambulances. We will also be celebrating 20 years of NWAS.
