Activities and interactive talks will be taking place across the Museum all week, including remote control tank tactics!

Learn how British and German forces fought and survived in the deserts of North Africa, discover how the modern British Army adapted to living in the desert during deployment in Afghanistan and listen to the stories from First World War soldiers who fought at Gallipoli.

In addition, there will be an opportunity to climb in a Main Battle Tanks, try on replica uniforms, take part in fun-filled family activity trails, learn about the history of the tank and soldiers in desert warfare and take a trip around the museum on one of our many free guided tours and activities offered by our dedicated museum team. All these activities are indoors.

Our extended collection of vehicles will be open to view from our viewing platform. The VCC will be open 12:30pm – 3:30pm every day during the holidays for the opportunity to view the museum’s reserve collection.
