The Calne Flag is a community flag proclaiming the unique identity of this Wiltshire town.

The blue fly represents the river Marden flowing through the town.

The green hoist evokes the local countryside, with a white stripe symbolising its underlying chalk.

Lastly a gold band links the two colours.
