Assembled with a few other people like a proper tank crew, instructor took the role of tank commander while we would rotate seats between gunner, loader / spotter, driver and guy who sits in back (insert one of many roles here). Experience was immersive and was a lot more than just once around the track. We each had two laps, meaning the time in the tank was extensive, and in each position it was quite enjoyable.
It would have been good to have been able to sit lower down in the turret and use the periscopes. I asked, but was told we couldn't. I assume due to health and safety - the instructor wouldn't be able to see us. Its a shame as this would add another dimension to the experience as well, and if you could make it an option, I think it would make it pretty cool.
That didn't detract from the experience however, loved every minute of it, and it beat my expectations!

Great fun, and something truly unique. Driving a bloody tank how cool. I would have come for the museum alone - some amazingly preserved WW2 tanks and equipment, and apparently they all still run! But being able to sit at the "wheel" of a tank and drive - wow. Bargain for the price I think.

I had a tank driving taster bought for me before lock down started so it took a while before I was able to use the voucher. This was one of the best experiences I've had in a very long time. Not only is there a really good museum, the staff are knowledgeable and passionate about their work. They do all sorts of other things such as paint ball, archery, Paintball with tanks. But we were there for the driving experience. Both me and my husband took turns to drive these beasts of machines around the course, and I have to say I found it really exhilarating. The instructor was really fantastic, very helpful and clear, but bottom line is you get to drive in your own and its fantastic. I honestly think this is one of the best things I've done as an 'experience'. I couldn't recommend it enough

What a fantastic day. Museum is done out to a high standard and is really good to walk around. I had the tank driving taster session. The staff member was very knowledgable and added to the experience. I had a lot of fun and have already give out good reviews to people. I will be back for the tank paintball battle in the future or just to have another go of driving the tank. Thank you

Had the tank driving taster. The instructor gave us a rundown on the the capabilities and spec of the tank, then it was time to drive. Again full instructions were given, and we had a lap with the driving turret open, followed by a lap with the turret closed. All very professional and very enjoyable. Chance to buy pictures later, and there is a viewing are for family. The museum is very interesting in its own right. Cafe also on site, and plenty of parking.

Where do I start?
What a exceptional experience from start to finish!
Instructor was very polite and clear when delivering instructions, answered any trivial questions I had.
Made driving the tank very easy and therefore more fun. Nothing quite like controlling a vehicle of war round a muddy field!
When you are not driving you are spectating from the turret which is equally as fun, nice small friendly business with a passion for all things military.
Will defiantly be visiting again

Absolutely excellent! I was bought this taster for my 65th birthday and it was great. As a life-long military enthusiast it was a long-held wish and it didn't disappoint. I was still buzzing the next day. The museum is excellent too but you're going to need more space. I would definitely do this or something similar again.

Armourgeddon is amazing! We got a voucher for my dad’s 60th birthday. My dad and uncle had an amazing time! The staff were reassuring and friendly, my dad was nervous about driving the tank but he did it and he hasn’t stopped smiling since.
This is the second time we have booked here, my husband and his friend being the first, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
Highly recommended!!

Really enjoyed the tank driving experience. It's a well organised operation with polite, helpful & knowledgeable staff. Vehicles well maintained and easy to drive for a novice. Added bonus is the museum - nicely laid out and interesting exhibits. Highly recommended for anyone interested in military vehicles. It's worth a visit for the museum alone.
