The final Garrison Open Days are being staged to raise money for the Locally Enlisted Personnel Trust, the charity established by the British Forces to provide funds for Hong Kong Chinese ex-members of the Garrison who may find themselves in need of assistance after 1997. The two-day event will also allow the public access to various units of the military and demonstrate how the Garrison operates.

Also open to the public will be a variety of souvenir shops, games stall and military displays, some of which will provide opportunities for visitors to view and handle selected items of military equipment.
