Live events, anywhere in the world

We have been supporting the wellbeing of our forces by delivering live entertainment to the military since 1946 – from taking celebrity acts to perform in warzones, to putting on events for troops and families on home turf.

Our Live Events team is made up of professionals with a track record in producing outstanding entertainment. Our events are tailor-made to match the audience’s unique needs, and in addition to operational areas include: Mess functions, family days, medal parades, seasonal balls/ parties, kids’ entertainment, and festivals with famous headline acts. Celebrities such as David Beckham, Al Murray, Peter Andre and Olympic athletes have delighted our armed forces by appearing at our events.

We re-invest any surplus income from our BFBS live events back into our charitable work.

Free shows and live entertainment

As with all our services, we re-invest any surplus income from our events back into our charitable work.

The BFBS Live Events Beneficiary Fund (formerly CSE Beneficiary Fund) provides free entertainment to British armed forces and their families in need of a morale boost. Previous recipients include wounded, injured and sick service personnel, veterans, families and children with deployed parents. We deliver a varied range of entertainment every year, from creating and producing ambitious, high-profile events from scratch to providing a single entertainer for an existing set-up.
