We are based on the Wiltshire / Dorset borders.
For centuries cannons have been used for conflicts around the world but also used for:
Saluting ;
Wedding , Birthday, Funeral, Formal and Official ceremonies.
Signaling;
The start of a race whether it be Sailing or Running.
The explosive flash, the loud bang, the smell of the powder and the plume of smoke adds to the thrill and puts a smile on the faces of all
around.
