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.

Families and visitors will also have the chance to meet frontline staff, explore emergency vehicles, learn about careers in the ambulance service, and discover lifesaving skills such as CPR with our Community Resuscitation Team.

Emergency Services Day offers a unique opportunity to get an inside look at the services and people who keep our communities safe every single day. It’s a free, fun and educational day out perfect for all ages during the summer holidays, and a chance to learn how to save a life. We look forward to seeing you there.

*Orient car parks are located on the southern side of the shopping centre and provide the closest access to The Orient leisure and dining area, The Great Hall, and the Trafford Centre food court.
