Basingstoke will welcome the Olympic Flame on Wednesday 11th July 2012 as part of it's national UK tour, prior to it's arrival at the Olympic Stadium in London for the opening ceremony for the 2012 Games.

LOCOG's published route for the torch relay through the town is available on Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council's website link below:

Turnout from businesses, local residents and schools for the occasion will no doubt be very high ... let's hope so, for this once in a generation moment.

Basingstoke's moment to shine!
