Tanks, Trucks and Firepower Showground

Annual Tanks, Trucks & Firepower brings live arena displays, re‑enactments and historic and modern military vehicles to a showground near Dunchurch (Rugby). Expect tank rides, static vehicle lines, air and arena demonstrations and family attractions across a multi‑day event.

The site also hosts year‑round military driving and firing experiences via operators on the showground – bookings and precise address/postcode are confirmed by organisers, who publish exhibitor and camping information for visitors.

On arrival you'll see rows of armoured vehicles, re‑enactment camps and trade stalls, with arena firepower displays and aircraft flypasts throughout the day.

Highlights:

• Live arena demos of armoured vehicle displays and pyrotechnic firepower demonstrations.
• Passenger tank rides and specialist vehicle driving experiences (Scorpion/Chieftain/Challenger examples shown historically).
• Re‑enactment camps, static aircraft displays and family activities suitable for children.
• Trade stalls, food vendors and on‑site camping with basic shower blocks during the event.

Planning tip: arrive early to secure parking and time for static displays; arena shows typically run mid‑day to late afternoon (show times are published by organisers). Use the official event site for campsite location, exact postcode and advanced ticketing.

• Event runs over the August Bank Holiday weekend; check exact dates before traveling.
