The Main Event

Looking for an adrenaline-pumping gift idea? The Half Day Tank Driving Experience is the ultimate choice for thrill-seekers, military buffs, and anyone with a taste for adventure! This isn’t just any tank driving day – it’s the only one in the UK where you get to operate three real military vehicles and, if you're the best of the best, crush a car with a full-sized battle tank. Yes, you read that right.

Your mission begins bright and early as you're welcomed onto the site. You’ll be divided into teams, but the real competition begins once you're behind the wheel of some of the mightiest machines still in service with the British Army.

First, get ready to take control of the Abbott SPG and the British 432 APC – both powerful, armoured beasts that will have you tearing across the terrain like a true soldier. Then it’s on to your next vehicle: either the speedy 4x4 Springer ATV or the nimble British Stormer SAM. Feel the power as you navigate challenging terrain, scoring points along the way in this one-of-a-kind driving experience.

But it doesn't stop there. You'll also be treated to a tour of the armoury, getting up close and personal with the weapons used by our military forces.

And here’s the real kicker – the best driver of the day wins the chance to crush a car with a mighty Main Battle Tank, this one is the Chieftan from the film Fast & Furious 6! It’s an epic grand finale to a day filled with unforgettable moments.

So, if you're looking to give a gift that will have them talking for years, the Half Day Tank Driving Experience is the perfect choice.
