Tank Driving Experiences

  Beaming happy son - Went on the full Monty experience as a spectator with Son as the driver. Experience was for his 21st birthday present. Didn't matter he wasn't in a group just him... read more as driver with me and his sister as spectators. lots of people their on there own or with a spectator or 2. Couple of people in groups of 2 or 3 or couples. John (my son) came of the the 4 vehicles he drove beaming, and John really isn't the beaming type. Even laughing after driving the Springer, this was because they had gone up a bank, Instructor laughing as John had apparently tried to kill him.
Spectators took part in the lighting fire in the wood and had little ride in Armed personal carrier and held a lot of different guns as instructor told us all about them. John had another attempt at trying to kill someone, this time his sister, because at the end of the our day John drove a tank that let on his Spector's me in hole in top of tank and his sister holding on the top the tank she her bottom came of the top of the tank as i think he took the "fun" bumpy track. John also shot a musket , archery and clay pigeon shooting.

I thought as spectators we would be bored. Couldn’t have been more wrong! We were included in all the sessions and if time allowed we’re offered the chance to drive some of the vehicles, take part in the clay shoot.
Would we go again? Hell yes!!! Already saving. Have talked about very little else since we left yesterday
Thanks Guys you are awesome!!!!!

My sister and I were spectators. Even as spectators we were able to join in some of the talks and demos and got a ride in one of the carrier tanks.

Thank you for all you hard work everyone

  Best day ever 😁  - Booked the full monty tank day for my husband & it did not disappoint. We had the best day, I was a spectator & even though I was following him... read more around it was so inclusive. I got to ride in the top of a huge tank whilst he drove & I got to drive a off road buggy at speed, which I was nervous about but the instructor really encouraged me to put my foot down. My husband LOVED it, he drove a number of different military vehicles, he shot clays, & we learned survival skills. Lots of tea/coffee & a hot lunch provided. All the team/instructors were so friendly & funny, good banter. 5 ⭐ best day ever 😁

  Awesome day out! looking for something new this is for you!!  - This is a must!! Perfect for all ages, Every member of the team really care about you having the best day possible.
Had an amazing time with my Partner defiantly... read more exceeded our expectations, and the day flew by.
The lunch was great, home cooked food, tea biscuits all day and same snacks at the end couldn't of faulted them at all.
And the knowledge you learn will surprise you, simply but effective survival skills as well as military history.
11/10 would recommend.

  We had the best day ever! We booked the Private Tank Crush experience as an 80th birthday present for my Dad-in-Law. He was a tank commander in his... read more army days, so he thoroughly enjoyed playing with his favourite toys again, as did the rest of the family. We were very well looked after; the instructor was very knowledgeable and made sure the whole family was included in the experience. We are definitely going again!

  Truly amazing experience at tanks a lot.
My husband done the full monty experience day and it was beyond words..
Whole day was brilliant.. everything about it was just so... read more much fun, seeing him driving the tanks, our daughter being able to sit in passenger hatch, staff are brilliant as well full of knowledge, epic banter and I’ve got to say huge thank you to 2 team members Wayne & Dan when they found out my daughter has an obsession with defenders they made her day by showing her around some on site and taking her on little passenger tour to see how they drive can’t thank you both enough!!
Thank you to rest of team as well we can’t wait to come back

  The tank driving instruction was excellent, and my grandsons picked it up very quickly, only one of whom had a driving licence!
The whole day was filled with fun in... read more a hospitable and safe manner.
My wife and I were so pleased with the whole day that in a few years our next set of Grandsons will receive the same treat.
The ancillary activities plus the food and beverage were of a high standard.
We will be back!

  Had an amazing day. Purchased the Full Month for my wife and my 14 Yr old son and I were spectators but felt included in the whole day.
I would... read more definitely recommend these guys as a day to remember. Excellent value for money.

  A birthday gift to remember.
Great place, brilliant people and superb fun. Will definitely do again. Thanks all for an experience I will never forget.

  My wife bought a Half Day Tank Driving experience for me and then came along as a spectator too. What an incredible (half)day, I got to drive an FV432 armoured... read more personnel carrier, an Abbot self-propelled gun and a Springer 4x4 buggy (not technically tanks if you want to get particular, but definitely good enough).
You also get a talk about the history of fire-arms and a quick run through various types of guns and explosives up to the modern day in the Armoury room which has many deactivated guns hanging on the walls, there's a surprising variety too.

As you drive the vehicles you get scored (out of 10) and the person at the end of the day with the highest score gets to drive a Chieftain main battle tank and crush a car. I was one point of winning but standing outside to watch the carnage is just as fun I reckon.

Spectators have to pay £20 extra but they do get a lot for their money. My wife got to ride in the back of a FV432 with us to the driving area and then got to sit in the commander position of the Abbot as I drove it around. We even had enough time for her to drive a Springer too.

There was tea, coffee, juice and biscuits available at no extra charge all day long. Staff we're all extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
