We had an absolute blast on the September Full Monty day. Very well ran with so much to see and do, made even more special with the option to drive the Sherman. Definitely recommended.

25 July 2026, Tanksalot Full Monty Experience – An Unforgettable Day We attended Tanksalot for the Full Monty Experience, originally bought as a 60th birthday present from an elder brother to his younger twin brothers. The twins then bought the same experience for him so all three could enjoy it together. What started as a birthday gift turned into a fantastic family day out, with wives, girlfriends and children all joining in. From age 28 to 85, everyone had an incredible time. The driving experience was superb, with professional, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful instructors. The food was excellent, with plenty of choice and more than enough for everyone. Throughout the day we were looked after brilliantly and made to feel like VIPs. It was fascinating chatting with Nick about how Tanksalot began, and with his son about the challenge of keeping such an amazing collection of vehicles running. What really stood out was that it wasn't just the drivers who had fun. Spectators were encouraged to get involved throughout the day, from riding on the tanks to handling the small arms from the armoury and firing a musket and taking part in the archery challenge. Overall, this was a truly memorable experience made special by the fun, friendly and professional Tanksalot team. We'd recommend it to anyone looking for a unique day out and a genuine bucket-list experience. Thank you all for giving our family such fantastic memories. Highly recommended!

Bought a 1/2 day experience for my dad’s 60th, and what an amazing day this was! Nick, Vanessa, Ashley and Tom were amazing. They made the day so much fun, and were so knowledgeable! Really recommend.

Amazing experience! Better than any museum. A vast collection of armoured vehicles and firearms that you can interact with. How many people can brag about crushing a Mini with a Chieftain from Fast and Furious 6?

I’m not quite sure where to start as words just can not describe how absolutely FANTASTIC this experience was!!! The entire day from start to finish was extremely well organised and unforgettable. From learning to drive a variety of armoured vehicles to the survival session with John and learning about his INCREDIBLE life story! From shooting, archery, springers, clays, crushing cars and definitely not forgetting the gentleman in the armoury whose knowledge was second to none. Chris, Tom, Jay, every single member of staff we spoke to, whether they had military background or not, were friendly, approachable, happy to answer any questions and not afraid to have a bit of banter with you! Even the extremely well dressed man during the flintlock session 🤣 Free tea & coffee all day was much appreciated, lunch was delicious and the grounds were like walking into a military fanatics dream. I booked this for my partners 30th birthday and I am SO happy I booked myself on as a main driver too!! That being said, the people who booked on as spectators were constantly being invited to give things a try and were fully involved in the survival and armoury sessions of the day. Some even getting to sit in the tanks as they were being driven which I thought was brilliant of them to allow! Nick and Kate who not only run the place but live there with their son (who I must say has THE most beautiful military style sensory garden I have EVER seen!) are fantastic hosts and we are already planning on coming back next year to do it all again!! Thank you both so much for just the best day and if you are reading this contemplating booking up, don’t even think twice just get it booked. You will not regret it.

After a few years willing to do this experience, I was finally able to do it. It is really impressive the number of tanks they have and also the number of weapons in their armory. My son was very happy as it was the first he drove a real war tank. Our guide (Tom) is a very patient person and explained us many details about the weapons and the tanks. Very recommended.

We recently booked a day at *Tank-A-Lot* as a delayed birthday present for our dad, and it was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our dad absolutely loved every minute of his day, and even as spectators, we were encouraged to get involved, which made it all the more fun. The guys at *Tank-A-Lot* really know their stuff, and they went out of their way to make sure everyone had a great time. It was a unique and exciting experience—highly recommended for anyone looking for something different!

Brilliant, brilliant, absolutely bloody brilliant. Took my dad for the Full Monty, I attended as a spectator. Just got back a few hours ago and we're both still processing what an amazing day we just had. All the activities are so engaging, and the vehicles are all incredibly fun and varied. Even as a spectator, I was allowed to take part in quite a few things, I felt very included and not just tacked onto my dad's experience. Staff all had a cracking sense of humour. Unlimited tea, coffee, and biscuits. Lunch is provided and was actually really good, a fresh hot meal. This is absolutely one of those 'bucket list' experiences (absolutely the case for my dad), if you're even remotely interested in tanks or the military, don't delay, give this place a go.

We did the private tank car crush driving and it was an experience we will remember forever! Nick and the team are super helpful and knowledgable, the tanks are incredible, especially the Sherman which we had the pleasure of riding/crushing a Peugeot. I could not recommend them more, especially for a corporate event or a private day of fun! Awesome place, so glad we found it - We'll be back!!

I got this experience for my son who is 15 and an army cadets. He had the best day, and enjoyed the whole day. He learnt so much and would love to be a volunteer, he enjoyed it that much.
Thank you for a brilliant day!

I booked the "private crushing" experience as a surprise for my dad’s 70th birthday with two spectators. The process beforehand was very smooth. Vanessa always replied very quickly to all my questions and provided clear explanations. On the day itself we arrived a bit late, because of traffic. We informed the staff at Tanks-Alot and it was not a problem. We were greeted in a friendly way and met our instructor Max. Max told us that the day would be about us and that we were allowed to climb any vehicle we wanted to and we could have as many photo opportunities as we wanted (he wasn't kidding and even after over hundreds of photo's he still was patient enough to wait). We got to drive the 443 and the Abbot SPG ourselves. No clip or photo can show how amazing it is to drive these machines and how much fun it is. Max was patient and clear in his instructions and he really made sure we had a great time driving these machines. We then went to the armory with an enormous collection of deactivated firearms (hundreds), where you get overwhelmed with where to begin looking and asking questions about. Luckily Max gave the suggestion to talk about the history of British weapons from the 16th Century up until modern day (which I can recommend listening to). Of course he filled it with typical British humor which made it fun, even if you don't know much about firearms. We then concluded the experience with my dad driving a Chieftain tank over an actual car, again amazing and difficult to explain how awesome that is. Tanks-alot also has a lot of plans for the future of adding old tanks to their big list of vehicles you can drive. It is expensive, but more than worth the money, considering what you get out of it. I can definitely say I will return in the future to try out these new vehicles. I rate this experience 10/10 and I want to specially thank Vanessa and Max for the good care, the laughs and making it a day me and my dad will never forget.

This was a present for my wife's 60th birthday. We had a fantastic time learning to drive different the tanks, and the car crush in the Chieftain was the 'icing on the cake'.
We are still buzzing after the experience. Ashley and Ella were wonderful hosts. We couldn't have been in better hands. Amazing. Thank you so much.
