This is our 3rd Military Vehicle & Living History Show to be held at this unique Cold-War location.
There will be a full range of military vehicles on display, from early Staff Cars and Softskin Vehicles to Post-War Armour.

The show will open on both days with the Garrison Living History Group putting on a Firepower Display with their 25 pounder Field Gun & Full Gun Crew in the arena. The Garrison will also end the show each day with 5 rounds fired from the Field Gun.

Other arena events will include a firepower display from Post-War Armour & Artillery and a chance for you to see some of the vehicles on display running around the arena with commentary.
