Our Tank Driving Experience is a one-to-one activity, making it suitable for anyone and everyone. Whether you’re a confident driver or have never driven any type of vehicle before, you can be sure that this activity is tailored to meet your individual needs.

Upon arrival, you will be kitted out in a tank suit (if needed) and given a helmet. Your instructor will then take you to our tank track which is located on an old WWII bombing range.

Following a safety briefing and short history lesson about the FV432 tank, your instructor will drive one lap of our track whilst you enjoy the ride in the turret seat. Next, it’s over to you. You will be shown how to use the controls and given a headset before heading off for your first lap. At first, you will drive with the driver’s hatch open, giving you the chance to become accustomed to the track and the controls. Then, it’s time to get out of your comfort zone and drive the second lap in battle conditions with the hatch closed, using only the periscope to see the track. For your third lap you can choose – will it be hatch open or closed?

  1. Jaycee

    Great day out driving and looking at a variety of modern tanks. The driver we had (Dominic) is currently with the army operating Challenger IIs and was very keen to answer the questions I had. The photos also turned out great

  2. Rich J

    Had a voucher as a thanks for helping a friend. The small museum is fascinating and the 1:1 tank driving was brilliant. Great instruction from Paul who gave me the full experience. There are many other activity packages too. Highly recommended as a surprise gift and something different. You need to be reasonably agile as the tank interior is very tight to manoeuvre around. Many thanks.

  3. Sorabain de Lioncourt

    Great fun, very knowledgeable instructor with lots of interesting facts and tales about the FV432. Super-easy to drive and exciting with the lid down.

  4. Alan Pickles

  8. Sarah

    Had a amazing time at my tank driving experience luke was my instructor and was very impressed with the information and time he took to explain about the tanks and although I was nervous especially about the downhill parts he was very calm and reassuring and loved every min of driving around the course would highly recommend and can???t wait to return to have another go in the future

  9. Rachel Latham

    Quite internally the best fun ever!!! I so enjoyed the whole experience. Dan was my instructor who was very good with giving instructions and directions. Do it – you won???t regret it!

  10. Brian Heaton

    Great day out celebrating my son???s 40th from last year. We were well looked after during our Tank experience and all thoroughly enjoyed it. The museum was an added bonus, very informative.

  11. jon bonham

    Absolutely loved it, had a really great time. The instructor (Phil) really took his time to explain everything, and was very good. Highly recommend the experience.

  12. Susan Jefferson

    Partner enjoyed his tank driving from his bucket list. As a spectator it would have been helpful on the web page to know how long to allow for viewing the exhibition as we would have had a long wait had they not been able to bring the ride forward. The staff were lovely and attentive but the premises could do with a freshen up such as the viewing windows washed. Also there was very little choice of food left for us, on the plus side was we hadn’t travelled far.

  13. Ellen

    Had an amazing experience driving the tank. I couldn???t stop smiling all the way round. Dan my instructor was brilliant. I would recommend this to anyone and I will be back

  14. Mark Plowright

    The tank driving experience was fantastic. I enjoyed every minute. Mick Crook is extremely professional and filled me with confidence. I would recommend this experience. Keep up the good work

  15. Paul venison

    Had a most enjoyable session, 52 years since I last drove a 430 series . Shame speed was reduced due to the hard going.

  16. George Anastas Sharrin

    Customer service was excellent; staff immediately responded and I was able to drive within a matter of a few minutes. Experience felt safe and controlled whilst also being incredibly enjoyable. I appreciated the decision to drive with and without the hatch open, and also the opportunity to drive on the slightly longer and more difficult course. The museum was also impressive with it’s content of less-common tanks, holdable guns and numerous artillery guns. Overall an awesome experience that definitely met/exceeded my expectations

  17. Rick Burkey

    My tank driving experience was bought for me as a gift for my 60th from my youngest son. My wife and eldest son accompanied me on the day and rode as passengers in the turret. All the staff were very friendly and two of them made decent cups of tea!! We arrived early so went around the museum first which is packed with interesting military vehicles and memorabilia. Danny, my instructor, was really friendly and knowledgeable, explaining everything clearly. Driving the tank was a fabulous experience, I didn???t want to give it back!! And my passengers loved it too! We thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. I highly recommend this activity as a gift or simply as a treat for yourself (I want to do it again!) Thank you to all the Armourgeddon team.

  18. Richard Haslam

    Drove these back in the 80s, like riding a bike, you never forget. Great experience

  19. Bev

  20. Nigel and Lynda Klak

    Excellent experience enjoyed every second can’t wait to drive a tank again we will return

  21. Mark Renshaw

    Had a brilliant time driving the FV432. My instructor Mick immediately put me at ease and after the safety brief soon had me flying about the course. Driving buttoned up is fun with the extremely limit view through the vision block. Overall a thoroughly recommend experience, the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, There is also a museum with a selection of WW2 and Cold War vehicles showcasing some of the museum’s restoration works. A great place I thoroughly enjoyed,

  22. Jackie Adams & Ron Rhodes

    Absolutely brilliant. I had the taster experience and Ron, the full driving experience. Brilliant museum. Great instructor in Mick. I’ve always wanted to drive a tank – so – another box ticked. Will definitely go back for another go, especially the tank paintball experience. Well done to an efficient and very professional unit.

  23. Andrew phipps

    amazing service, great activity. we even did the extra shooting and archery. well worth a visit. Great staff.

  24. JON MILLWARD

    Had a fantastic time at Armourgeddon. Tank driving experience was amazing. The instructors were great and both myself and my son had a great time. The museum was very interesting with some amazing kit to view. Will definitely be back to take part in the other activities they provide. Thanks once again for a memorable day.

  25. Kate Riley

    My son had this experience bought for him for his birthday, needless to say the grin on his face when he came back spoke a thousand words. Would definitely recommend. Mu son wanted to go and do it again straight away.

  26. Steve Fazakerley

    My wife bought this experience for me not realizing that I drove a 432 and 434, 50 years ago when I was in the REME. It was great to be back in one, I could have driven around all day. Thanks a lot.

  27. John Astley

  32. nicola wileman

    My partner brought me this for Christmas last year as I???ve always wanted to drive a tank. It was a great experience and the staff was amazing the place was amazing and kids would love to see all the thing they have in the museum x

  33. Jane Dalton

    Received this as a birthday gift. Drove through 150 miles of non-stop torrential rain and an hour sat in stationary traffic on the M1 to get there, and it was definitely worth it!! All the staff were really friendly and helpful. Luke was amazing, really personable and did everything he could to ensure I enjoyed the experience as much as possible. Fantastic instructor. He even got me to do precision reverse parking, which is something I can barely manage in a Honda Civic! Huge thank you, Luke!! Definitely take up the offer to have a passenger on board. He loved being up in the turret, and as the person who bought me the experience it was great for him to see directly how much fun I was having. Also nice to have him in the photos too, which are really good professional quality and are now being circulated round work with “you MUST try this!” comments. Would definitely recommend, and will be buying a reciprocal voucher for the OH. Thank you for an amazing experience.

  34. Char

    Such good fun! Highly recommend the Tank driving experience with an additional person. Thank you Joel the tank driver you were fab!

  35. Kelsey Gittins

    I booked this experience for my Husband for Christmas 2019, we finally managed to go on Saturday 23rd October 2021. My husband had a fantastic time driving the tank and enjoyed being passenger. The staff are very friendly, supportive and knowledgable. We had a wonderful time, and would love to come back again for another experience day in the future.

  36. terry courtnell

    fantastic day well worth the drive their they even accomedated us on a friday ,not one of their usual open days. I thought the museum wasn’t going to be so good but that was way above my expectations would deffinatly reccomend going and I bought it as a birthday present for my brother

  37. Alex Cooper

    My son had a tank driving experience for his 18th Birthday and could not have had a more enjoyable afternoon. We were greeted by Alex, who made us feel very welcome whilst he booked us in. We went around the museum, which is quite small, but has plenty to look at. We had a snack and a drink from the little Cafe, before starting the tank driving. We were introduced to our instructor Wayne, who was clearly very knowledgeable and gave us a very good overview of the history of the tank. Whilst my son drove, my other son and I enjoyed the perfect view from the turret. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and would definitely recommend the experience.

  38. Carol Gilbert

    Bought the tank driving experience as birthday present for son. He had a fantastic time and was everything he hoped it would be – was still grinning when he got home. Husband was a passenger and now wants a go too.

  39. Mike Groves

    Full marks for an excellent day out, enjoyed it very much. Nick was my instructor and knew the vehicle inside out as having served in them operationally he would do, He put you at ease so you felt at home in the tank, museum had lots to see, l enjoyed the rifle shooting not likely to become a sniper though, thanks again for a great day.

  40. Nicki Maloney

    Fanstastic time, Team were brillaint. Wasn’t expecting such a good museum, so spend the extra time and look around. Special thanks to Gareth – you know why.

  41. Christie

    I can only describe the experience as absolutely amazing! My instructor Nick was brilliant and a barrel of laughs! He was very clear with instructions, his knowledge on the tank was brilliant and couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! Have found my new day job….absolutely loved it! Thank you all

  42. Rhys Kettle

    Great day out and amazing staff working at the venue. Shame about the weather as I couldn’t do the full track when driving but still great day for a small place.

  43. Diane Foote

    Had a tank driving experience for my son who has a mild learning disability . He had an absolutely fantastic time. Thank you to all concerned

  44. Mike

    Enjoyed my tank driving experience and the museum was interesting. Staff were helpful. My instructor gave me some interesting facts about the tank and talked me through all the saftey points. Actually driving the tank couldn’t have been easier.

  45. Elizabeth Clifton

    Brilliant experience thank you all, Luke was an amazing instructor and got the balance just right. Knowledgeable giving just the right amount of information. Instruction spot on, I probably felt safer than he did at times! He encouraged me to fully participate in the tank driving experience. Well done!

  46. Fleur

    I thoroughly enjoyed my tank driving experience with Nick. He is an asset to your team! He explained everything well and then left me to concentrate on my driving. The centre is well run and all staff were very friendly snd helpful. I would definitely recommend and will be back!

  47. Hugh

    Thank you Zach and Armourgeddon for an exhilarating experience.So much fun. Can I take the Challenger out next time or even the M4, I promise I won???t ding them.

  51. Peter Booth

    My visit was a long overdue 60th birthday present and it was well worth the wait. My instructor was knowledgeable, clear and more than helpful, all helping to calm my slight nervousness instantly, allowing me to enjoy a wonderful hour of fun and experiences. I would highly recommend this event for all ages. I also recommend the museum, which is bigger than it looks and well worth a visit. The only thing that would round it all off would be some details about where the vehicles / tanks have come from – that would be fascinating.

  52. Richard Engler

    great fun i sat back and let my son do all the work next time we’ll be back for a tank paintball battle

  53. Suzanne Turner

    I bought the tank driving experience for my partner for his birthday, and we both had a fantastic day! I would definitely recommend paying a little extra to be a passenger in the tank. It???s great to share the experience. Our instructor was friendly and knowledgeable. I would take a spare set of clothes, because you will get a little muddy! Such good fun though.

  54. ALISON DEXTER

    We had an amazing day. It was a gift for my husband and I went in the tank with him. Nick our instructor was the best. A great day znd a great experience

  55. jimmy papworth

    This was my first time at driving a tank so i was very open minded about the experience. The venue was very easy to get to just a short hop from the M1. The staff very friendly and helpful, they gave me full instruction on how to drive the tank i was in. I had a good time and ejoyed the tank museum.

  56. Barbara Fisher

    A tank driving experience was arranged for my partner as a surprise for his birthday. He thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The staff were friendly and organised. It was great that he was able to drive the tank himself. It was an unforgettable day

  57. Mark Haydon

    Absolutely Awesome, I???ll be spreading the word and advising my friends to come and enjoy the experience. Big thumbs up to Wayne my instructor.

  58. Amanda Clifton

    I’ve wanted to drive a tank since I was 12 so when Mark got me a tank experience I was thrilled. I had an amazing day. Zach my instructor was so nice, fun & professional. He put me at ease & I really took his instructions onboard & drove the tank so confidently. It was so empowering & fun. Everyone has said the photos showed me having the time of my life. I would fully recommend armourgeddon to everyone I know. Thank you for an amazing day for me & Mark.

  59. miranda Kowalczyk

    A totally unique fun experience for the two of us. The museum is interesting, the cafe is a great little facility but the main reason we were there was for the tank driving! It lived up to all our expectations. The course was large and gave a variety of open terrain, the instructor was friendly and calm. The added extra of professional photographs allowed us to re live and preserve the memory. I strongly reccomend Armourgeddon as a fantastic day out.

  60. Amanda Lloyd

    Huge thanks to Mick for helping my husband enjoy an amazing tank driving experience. All the staff were approachable and friendly. I booked myself in as a passenger in the tank and thoroughly enjoyed it. The museum was interesting and we enjoyed a cuppa from the little cafe. Easy to book and easy to find. Would certainly recommend. Will be be returning? Yes definitely!! Thank you everyone.

  61. Mick Siggs

  63. Conor Bolton

    An absolutely fantastic experience. 100% recommend giving this a try. I was so nervous I nearly backed out but I???m so glad I didn???t.

Thank you to all the staff for allowing the public to experience the thrill and excitement of been able to drive such a machine.

  72. David Coller

    Excellent fun. Wish the course was a bit more challenging……

  73. Thomas Dunn

    As a former serviceman in a Tank Regiment my daughter bought me the experience for my 60th birthday last year. I attended this year due to COVID restrictions not allowing the experience due to lockdowns. I was very pleased to have been able to re-live old memories from my days as both a tank driver and commander and would certainly recommend others to do the same. Please pass my thanks to Joe who was both very pleasant and knowledgeable in his job.

  74. David Daley

    Everything about my experience was 5 star! The staff were very helpful and we really enjoyed the afternoon.

  75. Peter O’Brien

    Hi, I had a very enjoyable time driving the tank. The instructor, Mick, was perfect in his knowledge and instruction. I found this tank very easy to drive as once in gear it was basically foot on the accelerator and steer. I had a great time and this event is on my Christmas list for this year.

  76. Jason Hall

    Great experience, the staff we very helpful and knowledgeable.

  77. Katarzyna Machynia

  88. Mark Howlett

    Great day all the staff were very friendly and helpful, our instructor (Richard I think) was great and very patient. All in all very good experience and well worth the 2 hour drive down

  89. Gail Murray

    I bought the tank driving experience gift voucher for my husband for Christmas 2019 but have only just managed to use it due to the lockdowns. Armourgeddon were very understanding and extended the expiry date for us. The experience was brilliant and my husband really really enjoyed it. He had plenty of time to drive the tank on both the easy and more challenging tracks both with the top open and closed. The instructor was very patient and helpful. The set up is very professional and the staff lovely and friendly. The small museum is interesting and a good way to pass the time while you are waiting for your turn if you are a bit early. We would highly recommend this as a fun day out and our whole family enjoyed it as one daughter accompanied my husband in the tank and my other daughter and I watched.

  90. Amanda Thompson

    Visited Armourgeddon last week for my tank driving experience. What a blast I had with my Instructor Richard who was friendly, helpful and informative. The whole experience was great fun from start to finish and I would highly recommend this venue. Afterwards we visited the museum which had tanks, armoured vehicles and plenty of other Interesting historical artefacts. There is also a well stocked small cafe. All social distancing measures in place- it???s an absolute yes from me!

  106. Robert Willington

    I bought this tank driving experience for my wife and I can honestly say that it was the best organized and run event that I have been to. Our instructor was Matt he was very professional and clearly instructed us. My wife really enjoyed driving and us 3 passengers had a great time. The tank museum is worth a visit on its own. I nice souvenir was the photos taken of us and at a very reasonable cost. I definitely recommend this as a fun day out. Will see you again in the future.

  107. Mr Conrad EJ Gonsalves

  110. Ade Feeney

    Awesome day doing the Tank experience and the instructor was absolute spot on, very professional and approachable . Would recommend the Tank driving experience to anyone who wants to do something a bit different. Great location and in the current Pandemic climate I felt very safe and protected with their procedures in place. Bonus walking around the Museum as it was well thought out and presented. It is also worth getting the additional pictures from the official photo album. Highly recommended and thank you for a great experience …… Well done

  111. Ben Seymour

    My experience yesterday at Armourgeddon was amazing. It was absolutely awesome driving a tank for the first time and I really enjoyed it. Your tank driver member Phil who was with me was brilliant. He was great at teaching me how to drive the tank and telling me I was brilliant. I had a great time and I would recommend it to everybody.

  112. Mark Grant

Afterwards, we looked around the museum which we found very interesting, particularly as Charlie???s grandfather had served in the Tank Regiment. We later went clay pigeon shooting on your other site.Again, very enjoyable with very professional instructors. Covid precautions first class. Will definitely come again.

    Really positive experience. I bought this as a seventieth Birthday present experience for my dad who really loved it. Staff were really friendly and clear with safety protocols etc. He loved the driving part – being at the controls of a Bulldog really did it for him! Wasn’t expecting the sizable museum collection which was a huge bonus. Thanks to everyone at Armourgeddon, you made my Dad’s 70th really memorable for us both. Ten out of five stars! 😉

  121. David Banks

    Very Enjoyable and left a five-star review on trip advisor. In terms of minor suggestions I think a full paying person should be able to take one person in the museum or to watch for free. We both did the longer experience drive and it would have been good to have been able to drive on a slightly longer track rather than just the oval where you are essentially turning left.minor points on a good experience

  122. Dean Bond

    Great afternoon of fun and knowledgeable staff always happy to help made my Son’s 17th birthday experience all the more enjoyable.

  123. Gavin M

    It was such an enjoyable experience! From a warm welcome upon arrival to meeting Will our friendly and knowledgable host who firstly showed us around our tank along with lots of facts and stats about it before taking my partner and I out for a ride on the track while we were seated out in the turret. Then the fun began I instructed how to drive the tank and then off I went with three laps of the tank track. After the experience I collected my 113! Photos that were taken throughout my experience from the photography stall all downloaded onto a usb stick for me to take away. Finished with a look around their museum also. We had such a great day and our expectations were exceeded! Thanks for such a great day!

  124. Steve Drummond

    I treated my wife to the Tank Driving Experience for her 72nd birthday and she took two friends as passengers. What a great time she and they had. She was given all the instruction she needed and then certainly tore (relatively speaking) round the circuit, up and down the hills and occasionally on the grass! The guys at the centre were brilliant, very informative and helpful. I think I might do it next time.

  125. Robin Margle

    A great fun experience. Excellent safety and instructor.

  126. David Round

    What an amazing day very professional would recommend it

  127. Audrey Smith

    My tank experience was with Gareth he was a great instructor and had so much patience with me. I had a fantastic day and I would recommend armourgeddon to everyone. I had a brilliant time

  128. Michaela Ireland

    We visited for a tank experience on Saturday morning as a birthday gift for our son. Check in was very swift with Covid precautions in place our instructor Alex was great very informative and made the experience great fun. The museum was much bigger than we though it would be and lots of excellent displays, our little granddaughter loved trying to type her name in morse code!. We purchased our photographs which were great quality and value for money. Our visit was worth every penny and we would highly recommend! Thanks Michaela, Dan, Andrew and Olivia

  129. Rich Ford

    Had a fantastic time. Staff very friendly, all was well organised and great fun.

  130. Dave Roberts

    Very enjoyable day

  131. Mark Davis

    Had an amazing time and definitely one for the bucket list.Was really surprised how easy the tank was to drive and the length of time spent in it. Will,our instructor,was polite and knowledgeable and made the whole experience even better. Loved the military vehicle museum and didn’t expect to see as many vehicles as there actually was. Thanks for a very memorable day out.

  132. Mark Bedford

    Excellent day out with great instruction. Highly recommended

  133. Jane

    This was arranged for me as a birthday surprise, as I have a fascination for tanks and have wanted to drive one for a long time. I got to drive the lovely ‘Maddy’, and it was an absolute pleasure, probably one of the best experiences of my entire life. The staff here are knowledgeable and accommodating. The museum is great with more tanks, weapons and war-time memorabilia to look at. I hope to one day get my H license and have my own FV432 to drive.

  134. Mr S Sutcliffe

    Brilliant experience, so much different from what I expected. The staff were always concerned about the safe enjoyment of the experience and talked you through how to operate control the tank safely. You don’t realise how difficult it must be for our troops to drive safely at speed just looking through a letterbox unable to see the front corners of the tank and have no idea what is around you, no mirrors just faith in your colleagues. A brilliant birthday present and a treat for any passengers.

  135. Anne Taylor

    Brilliant would recommend instructor fantastic

  136. paul tester

    had a great day, staff were great very helpful. Tanks were great to drive you get the full experience of taking control of a military tank. instructor gave clear and precise instruction in a friendly way. Would definitely recommend this experience.

  137. chloe ellis

    Fantastic day, would highly recommend! I booked this experience for my boyfriend who is tank mad. The whole day was great start to finish. The confirmation email tells you everything you need to know (especially about covid measures) so there was no stress. The place was easy to find and well signposted. All of the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. The guy we had G was great and made my boyfriend feel at ease as he was a little nervous! The experience was great, I was a passenger which was loads of fun. We even got to look around the museum which was huge, it has loads of memorabilia and tonnes of tanks. At the end of the experience you get the chance to buy a bunch of photos for ??25, we had 73 photos taken which was a bargain! Overall fantastic time, would 100% recommend and go again 😀 thanks!

  138. James

    brilliant morning! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and Alex was a fantastic instructor. Definitely looking to do it again at some point.

  139. Aaron

    Do you want to drive a ridiculously heavy steel box through mud and over hills? Look no further. Much fun, very easy and you won’t regret it. Museum was cool too! Tankss for the memories

  140. Sean Mckevitt

    Excellent day social distancing working and felt safe we all had a great time Sean

  141. Brian

    This was a present for my 17 year old daughter and she absolutely loved it. She was buzzing from the experience for hours afterwards. My wife and I got to be passengers which was really good too.

  142. Bethany Watkinson

    Took my dad as suprise for his 60th. Had a fab day out, we had Luke as the instructor. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about it

  143. Tracey Winters

    Loved the experience. My boyfriend Dan drove the tank and I was the passenger. Alex, a lovely guy was our instructor who was very informative and a great teacher. Infact everyone we encountered while there was friendly and informative. Large selection of military vehicles. If your a fan of this kind of thing then you have to pay them a visit.

  144. Charles Nichols

    Excellent experience. Thoroughly enjoyed myself with the one to one trainer. Would recommend to anyone physically able and not too tall

  145. Justin Salmen

    This was an amazing experience. My wife booked this tank driving for my birthday. The guys at Armourgeddon are friendly and ver knowledgeable about the vehicles. Museum is bigger than you think and has an abundance of large and small artifacts – very interesting. If i have one suggestion it would be maybe could have obstacles to drive the tank over ie hills, dips or logs etc etc. I understand this might affect wear & maintenance of these precious vehicles. This is not to take anything away from an exceptional morning and a tick on my bucket list

  146. Tony Clamp

    A brilliant day

  147. Robert

    Great experience. Something I’ve always wanted to do and it lived up to expectations.

  148. Kevan godley

    Great 57th birthday present from my grown sons who came as passengers as I drove. Great instruction from Richard and a fantastic experience. Could have done with the drive lasting longer but we always want good things to last longer. Highly recommend for the big kid in your life if you are stuck for a birthday or Xmas present.

  149. David Linaker

    thank you for an amazing experience! I enjoyed every minute of it and your staff were friendly and helpful without exception. I would definitely recommend Armourgeddon!

  150. Ian Freedman

    Your staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable. The experience was well planned and enjoyable. A special mention for Ben who talk the time to talk to us even after we had had our turn. I would recommend you.

  151. Jon Garvey

    Brilliant experience and G was an excellent teacher who explained everything clearly and with humour. Museum also really interesting. It’s a humbling experience to drive one of these vehicles and imagine what driving in combat must be like.

  152. Tony Morreal

    We had a great time, thank you so much. A great experience. XXX

  153. Cory Hardy

    Absolutely amazing experience. Incredibly friendly staff. Instructor was calm and very easy to listen too with clear instructions and great coaching, making the experience even better. 10/10 would recommend to anyone, regardless of knowledge and attitude towards military/tank topics!

  154. Lorraine Marling and John Rixon

    Brilliant day. We enjoyed every moment. Will strongly recommend it to other’s.

  155. Kate Ellis

    What an amazing experience!!! Right from booking to the day its self was fantastic,it was very well organised. The instructor i had was really friendly and informative, most of all he had loads of patience.He made it very memorable day. I just want to go back and do it again!!!

  156. chris rodwell

    Very well run, great experience, friendly staff. Fantastic museum as well

  157. Annabelle

    Well organised, friendly, professional and SO much fun.

  158. ANDY CHANDLER

    Great fun and fun friendly staff. Would highly recommend

  159. Ian Roberts

    Excellent time did a surprise tank drive for my mate for his birthday absolutely loved it would recommend to anyone. Good value

  160. David Nelson

    We had a great time on the tank experience. Our instructor really made us feel welcome and that the day was personal to me. Definitely recommend this place.

  161. Kyle

    The team was amazing did this for my mrs birthday and she loved it still goes on about it weeks later we are going back with the kids to do this again would recommend 100%

  162. Debbie Grosvenor

    Great Fun! Always wanted to drive a tank – it was incredibly hot on the day of my drive – so bit like being a sardine slowly canned!! Great instructor Ben – very clear about instructions and patient with someone old enough to be his grandmother!! Would do it again with not hesitation and all of the staff were really pleasant and supportive in these very weird times of social distancing. Blessed with a very sunny day – so great fun to observe others doing their driving too.

  163. Chris Smith

    What a great time! Gareth was a really good instructor, really clear and calm. Had such a great experience. Thank you so much!

  164. Andrew Dicken

    Brilliant day great museum really friendly staff and the tank driving couldn???t stop smiling all the way home will be booking again

  165. lee covall

    I had a great day and the staff are fantastic

  166. Janet Evans

    I bought the Tank Experience for my partners 60th birthday present. He had a brilliant time. The staff were amazing and they definitely knew their stuff. Cant praise the place and staff enough. Thank you for making it a fantastic experience.

  167. Thomas

    Would highly reccommend as a gift for someone, really interesting driving the tanks and a great museum on sight, well worth it!

  168. Steve from Harborough at War

    Fantastic day out for all of our team, Alex and the instructors were well versed in talking through all the controls of the tank we took out, i really recommend this activity as a awesome team building day, thank you Armourgeddon we will see you again.

  169. Catherine

    I bought this for my partners birthday. He was the driver and I booked on as a passenger in the tank. I would highly recommend the experience for anyone looking for a good present for a partner or family member. It was also a bonus to have Shane who was such a fun instructor! I also liked that you could have all your pictures put on a USB rather than having to pay for individual print outs. I would love to come back again and give it a go myself!

  170. Andy

    Genuinely enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it to others. The museum although small was well laid out and had some really interesting exhibits. my instructor/mentor was excellent

  171. M Shepherd

    Really good fun – thoroughly enjoyed the driving experience. Would recommend to anyone. Museum was interesting too.

  172. David Beck

    My wife bought this experience for me for my 50th Birthday as a surprise and oh my word what a surprise is was. It was an absolutely fantastic day, the team were brilliant and special thanks to Will for being an amazing and patient instructor. The tank was great fun to drive around and I was absolutely grinning ear to ear after my experience. The museum is excellent and you can see the care and attention that has gone in to restoring and maintaining the exhibits. I got to drive a tank, it was sunny and I haven’t stopped grinning yet. I can’t recommend these guys highly enough.

  173. David Thomason

    This was a 60th birthday present from my wife & children and was much appreciated. Although we paid the ??6 for my wife to spectate, I was disappointed that there is no designated viewing area, other than the refreshment area; it is only possible to see, at most, a quarter of the track, as her view was obscured by both the slope of the field and the parked tanks. Also, video taken from inside contains very little of the sound of the tank above the background conversations. Would it be possible, to include some kind of slalom, where drivers could practise turning right, as well as left? How about using squashy cones or fake mines, as an incentive? I did buy the memory stick full of photos, but think that it is overpriced, especially considering that, if you want a framed reminder, you will have to pay for the paper, ink & frame yourself! After all that, the instructor was polite and informative, keep up the good work!

  174. Dai

    Had this as a red letter day from my wife as a Christmas present. What a fantastic day, she was passenger for the day so made it doubly special. Our instructor was brilliant and had a great sense of humour, first time I’d ever driven anything like this and he made it seem so easy. Had a great circuit which included a pretty scary downhill and up which was the high spot of the experience. Reversing it blind to park up was pretty awesome too. Superb.

  175. Marion Modeste

    A birthday treat from my fianc??. Something I???ve been wanting to do for ages and I wasn???t disappointed! Had the best experience… Charles, my instructor, was friendly and helpful – as were all the team! Museum was an added bonus. I???d recommend it 101% … Loved It

  176. David Smart

    Had a great day, had 2 tank experiences bought for me for my 60th so decided to book both on the same day as it is 2hr journey each way. Great going round first time but even better the second. Joe and Alex were very good instructors and made everything really clear. Definitely do it again.

  177. Lee Bailey

    I bought this for my husband for Christmas, he loved it. Great staff, well looked after. Museum bigger than we had imagined. And he would do it again.

  178. Peter Glossop

    What a great day encountered both by my Australian girlfriend and myself, whom had great fun. Staff all really friendly and helpful too.

  179. Sarah Smart

    Bought as a 40th birthday present for my husband. Fantastic experience, really friendly staff and very impressed by the museum on site too.

  180. Beverley Grisenthwaite

    I bought a tank driving experience for my husband’s birthday. Wow, what a fabulous day. We arrived early and spent some time walking round the museum and watching some of the other visitors driving around the track. The conditions were perfect. Bright sunshine after heavy rain so the track was very muddy with plenty of puddles. We were called to kit ourselves out in clean overalls and helmets. George introduced himself to us. What a friendly and knowledgeable young man he is, an asset to Armourgeddon. We were surprised at how smooth the first lap was with George driving the tank. Then it was Dave’s turn! The first lap was fine but the second lap!!! I couldn’t stop laughing,He’d obviously settled into it and put his foot down. Oh my goodness, it was so bumpy but great fun. Fortunately he slowed down for the third lap. My hubby thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend booking. An ideal gift for someone who doesn’t need any more ‘stuff’ for a present. Thanks to all for making this a memorable and enjoyable day.

  181. Claire

    Had great fun, the instructor was friendly and driving the tank was brilliant! My boys really enjoyed being able to ride in the tank too. Would highly recommend.

  182. Paul Elsam

    Awesome experience, loved every second of the driving experience! Knowledgeable friendly instruction and commentary added to what was a boyhood dream! Fully recommend this to anyone!!

  183. stephen langston

    The day was brilliant the instructor we had was very good gave all the do’s and do not took round the track than it was my turn. I really liked when he put the tank in “lock down” a very unusual way of driving . My wife loved being a passenger in the turret >again I would like say that it was the best experience I have had and I would like to go back for another drive

  184. Jack Clark

    A great day out…the tank is the first thing I have ever driven…so easy. Staff are so friendly. Museum was much better than expected…so much to look at. Thank goodness there are people like you who care about our history. Recommended to all and value for money. Many thanks, Jack

  185. Barry C

    I had the most enjoyable day, bringing back memories of years ago. I would recommend the experience for the family as mine found it really interesting

  186. Bernie nash

    We bought the day for my son joe,its still taking a long while to get the smile off his face !! I notice you have a cheiftain and a centurian there you really must get them working!i would love to take the centurian roud your circuits! If ever you need a driver for ir i can be there in 2/3 hours!thanks again for making our day special!

  187. Irene

    Amazing tank experience at Armourgeddon it was brilliant, I???ve always wanted to do this and my children got me a voucher I cannot believe I actually it , it was amazing.The museum is very interesting as well I would like to thank Luke who took me round on Sunday 11th August and my daughter who was my passenger she also loved it . So anyone who is thinking of doing this do it totally amazing. Thanks again Irene n Jodie

  188. Louise

    Absolutely fantastic! James was a brilliant instructor even when I veered off piste a bit! Definitely recommend this for anybody who wants to give it a go. The photos are worth paying for but take your own USB for them to go onto, to save money. The staff are all so friendly and down to earth. The venue is very non-pretentious. Small cafe area but the coffee is fine and the giant sandwich baps are better than they look, with lots of tasty filling. Funny little museum, packed with vehicles and weapons, and good information boards for most of it. A brilliant day out!

  189. Jen

    Bought this as a gift for my fiance and he had a great time. Really friendly and helpful staff and a good laugh.

  190. Paul Wilbraham

    I???ve had a tank driving session on my bucket list for some time. I saw this company on the internet and after reading the reviews I decided to book a session for myself and a friend. We were not disappointed the staff were very helpful and provided instruction in safety matters before we entered the vehicle and continued to do so as necessary around the course. The tank was in good condition and the experience of driving was second to non. As a car driver I personally found it difficult to steer for some of the muddier parts of the course but the instructor gave superb advice and a very enjoyable day was had. The military museum was very good with a selection of equipment from different countries. The small cafe is ok but the guys recommended a place a few miles away for a full breakfast as we had traveled from Chester. All in all a very worthwhile place to go. Highly recommended.

  191. Alec Henderson

    My son wanted to experience being in a tank for his 14th birthday so we booked on this experience. I have to say that it was worth every penny as he really enjoyed the museum and being the passenger in the tank whilst I drove it. The staff were excellent and it was an experience I would recommend to anyone who is interested in tanks and military vehicles.

  192. Tim Spencer

    Had this bought me as a present and it didn’t fail, a fantastic experience from start to finish, instructors were brilliant and did a very informative role, would recommend it to anybody

  193. Elma Wishart

    I am recovering from major cancer surgery. Our son and daughter-in-law bought me this for Christmas. Although I was apprehensive, my instructor was really helpful, and I enjoyed myself immensely. Great fun!

  194. Matt

    I had a voucher for tank driving as a Christmas gift, wasn???t sure what to expect but it was great fun! The tank is quite easy to drive once the instructor shows you how, the staff are all great and my instructor (Ben) was a really friendly guy and easy to get along with, they also have a brilliant museum which is worth a visit on its own. Will be going back again for sure

  195. Rachael lawrence

    It was the best all the staff were amazing , the tank driving was brilliant anyone looking for a great present idea look no further this will be the best thing you could give someone everyone is a credit to the company thankyou for a fantastic morning see you soon x x

  196. Michelle Toft

    We bought this for our son who is 17. He had never driven before but loves tanks and this one didn’t need a driving licence. He absolutely loved it, best thing he’s ever done and said he found it easy to drive and went on the more difficult course, has his instructor felt he was confident enough. His instructor was friendly and explained everything, we would recommend this to anyone who wants some fun driving a tank, my son can’t wait to come back and try the military vehicle driving experience once he passes his driving test. We liked the way the museum was set out including scenes. Great day had by everyone.

  197. Eric

    I had an awesome time driving the armored vehicle found it easy and wasn’t afraid to put my foot down lol you have a good range off vehicles there and excellent friendly staff

  198. Barbara Henderson

    What an experience! This was bought for me by the family as a 60th birthday present. The instructor was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, gave clear instructions and encouragement. The experience was made more special by my husband being a passenger and the family being able to watch from the viewing area.I would highly recommend the experience.Thank you.

  199. Sarah Robins

    Excellent day with my daughter! So much fun and would be great for team building activities. Definitely one for the bucket list! Will be going back there. Instructor Joe was great! Thank you.

  200. Andrew Finnissy

    Absolutely fantastic tank experience. Our instructor, Dominic, was brilliant and we loved every minute. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in armoured vehicles. Wonderful extra touch – the memory stick with 54 photos on it. Best birthday present I have ever had. Thank you to everyone at Armourgeddon for making it such a great day for us.

  201. Craig Kempsell

    Great experience with very friendly staff. Would definitely go back and also recommend it to anyone.

  202. Alison OToole

    It was amazing! A lifetime ambition and a fantastic way to celebrate becoming 50! The time seemed to go so quickly. Although the instructor was new to his role he was very knowledgeable and professional. Thankyou very much.

  203. Andy Kinvig

    Excellent experience

  204. Teresa glanville

    I had the most amazing experience with you guys. I came to you on 22nd June and my instructor was brilliant sorry can???t remember his name. I drove and my sister was a passenger. I loved every minute. All staff were friendly and I can???t boost them up enough. Thanks guys I would recommend to everyone

  205. Becky

    My finance brought me the tank driving experience for my 30th birthday. I can honestly say I had the best time!! Our instructor was absolutely brilliant and talked me through the whole thing! Reserving into the parking space was the highlight!! Fully enjoyed! Thank you!!

  206. David Wall

    I was expecting a good day out but that it might be full of do???s and don???t???s with an over bearing amount of health & safety stuff. It couldn???t have been further from the truth. The staff were brilliant, all of them! From the movement we arrived to the moment we left, we were made to feel like real customers. On the tank itself, we had a really nice young chap called ???Will???. Will went through our briefing with clarity and a touch of light hearted humour to relax us. The tuition was excellent and the feeling of being in control was a full on experience and one I will never forget. Driving a tank was unbelievable and I hope to do it again one day soon. Thank you to all at Armourgeddon.

  207. Jon Marsh

    Fantastic and loved every minute of my tank driving experience. Matt my instructor was brilliant explaining everything very clearly and made sure I got the most from the experience. From start to finish the whole thing was first class. Thank you for a great day.

  208. Peter Tijhaar

    Fantastic experience, I really enjoyed driving the FV432 around the track. Joe was a great teacher sounded like he knew his stuff. I was happily surprised how much vehicles were in the museum, won’t be long until the museum needs to expand! looking forwards to come back and see what is new next time.

  209. Philip Norbury

    Bought this experience for my wife’s birthday recently and though she was a bit apprehensive about driving a tank, on the day the staff were so helpful and supportive that she enjoyed every minute. We were both very impressed with the whole set-up and the attitude and of all the staff, plus the very interesting military museum too. Would recommend it to anyone who fancies a day out with a difference.

  210. Wendy Davies-Williams Dave Cooil

    Excellent experience and day out. Charles our instructor was really good and friendly which added significantly to the experience. Highly recommended!

  211. Paula Maybery

    I bought the tank experience for my husband’s birthday present. He has a slight disability which makes movement around an enclosed space a little difficult. Each customer is issued with protective clothing and helmets to protect against injury and everyone gets a short briefing prior to setting off. His instructor was specially selected as someone who could cope with the slight disability – I think his name was Gary. Gary was very patient, understanding and an excellent instructor who made sure my husband had a safe, fun, comfortable and very memorable experience. All staff were friendly and treated us as if we were family as opposed to customers. I cannot praise Armourgeddon highly enough and we will certainly consider another trip there.

  212. Kokila patel

    The reception could have been a bit more welcoming the experience was out of this world would recommend it to all my friends and family Kit kat my instructor was patient and knowledgeable made me feel at ease.

  213. David Bond

    Fantastic day! Highly recommended and the museum was super.

  214. William Whiteley

    Just magic, one of the best experiences of my life. Clear instructions made to feel to at ease. Professional through and through

  215. Jenny

    We had an excellent experience thanks very much. We enjoyed the museaum and all huge collection of war related items. The tank drive was great even as a passenger. Our guide was really informative and friendly.

  216. Anthony Kent

    A very enjoyable afternoon spent in the museum and driving one of the tanks. It was great fun, highly recommended!

  217. Marcus Smullen

    Great experience and great fun to drive, instructors were very knowledgeable on the tanks and when not giving instructions very sociable and friendly. Lots of fun.

  218. Mark Hurlock

    Really enjoyed it was lucky weather was good. Would definately do again

  219. Tim Lishman

    Great fun and fantastic experience. A present from my wife as she thought I might enjoy this sort of thing. She was spot on. Everything was clearly instructed and the team there were real enthusiasts.

  220. Sally Champion

    50th birthday present from my husband and children. Absolutely loved it. Solo driving experience fantastic.

  221. Lee Brindley

    Had an absolutely brilliant time! Very patient instructor – but I got the hang of it fairly quickly and that made it more enjoyable. Tanks are simply brilliant to drive – had more fun in one than whe i drove a McLaren!

  222. Mark Davis

    Awesome, thoroughly enjoyed it

  223. Malvern brown

    Fantastic day, just ashame no video

  224. David Warwick

    An excellent day out. A memorable experience. I would love to do it again!

  225. michelle fuller

    We had a great day today. Thank you for giving my son Carl a great tank driving experience, and also a thank you to Alex, who was a great instructor and for giving Carl an amazing day he will never forget.

  226. Evelyn Priestley

    I booked this for my husbands Christmas present and we were warmly greeted and taken care of by the team. A good activity that I would recommend

  227. Terry Dewick

    Bought the experience for my grandson as a surprise, he thoroughly enjoyed it, didnt stop talking about it all the way home. thanks for a great day out.

  228. Mark Whitney

    Absolutely fantastic loved the whole experience from start to finish. Excellent facility and excellent staff. The museum is also very interesting.

  229. John Ward

    Awesome experience – not sure I’ve ever enjoyed a day or more than this. Great staff, really friendly and helpful. Very unusual experience to most of us clambering into a tank and then being shown how to drive it round a track including some serious hills. Just excellent

  230. Nikki Westwood

    Big thanks to all the team at Armourgeddon! Bought this as a birthday gift for my husband and he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. George, the young man who accompanied us in the tank, was very friendly and knowledgeable and explained things in a clear, calm manner putting my husband at ease.. The museum was much more interesting and so much larger than we thought it would be – we must have been in there for 45 minutes or more and then into the cafe area for a nice cuppa and a cake. Paid an extra ??20 for me to ride in the back of the tank and was quite pleased that I did. All the staff that we met were really friendly and the experience was one that I would definitely recommend.

  231. Sandra

    Absolutely brilliant day !! would defiantly recommend it My husband and I had the best time , thank you

  232. keith daley

    Great experience, easy to drive, young lad but good instructor, only down side he wouldn’t let take up to 40 MPH, another one ticked off the list.

  233. Philip Read

    Great experience, excellent instructor. Great way to send a morning and a look around the museum as well.

  234. Jean-Claude Olesqui

    Brilliant experience, thoroughly enjoyed. The instructor was great fun and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend to others. Cheers

  235. Paul Williams

    Great experience, intuitive controls made it fun, but difficult enough to keep concentration. Made me appreciate what it was like to be in the Tank Corps. Thanks to Callum for taking me round and talking me through what was needed.

  236. Ali Chambers

    Absolutely fantastic day, bought as a present for my Dad, he loved it! Superb staff, thank you Joel!! X

  237. Simon Warren

    If you like big toys engines anything to do with the military then this is definitely for you!! Really enjoyed my visit friendly helpful staff would recommend this and would do it again!

  238. susan Hammond

    Booked for our sons birthday, he had a fab day. All the staff and our instructor was great. Couldn???t recommend the experience enough.

  239. Paul

    Fantastic day, really well organised and my son and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved that we had photos whilst in the tank, would be good to also have other photo opportunities dressed up with old kits/guns for instance

  240. Anthony Harris

    Great day

  241. David Middleton

    Great fun, and Shane, my instructor, was excellent.

  242. Andy McFarlane

    Fantastic day out. Great fun, well organised. Hopefully be back to give the tank paint balling ago. Well recommended.

  243. A J Richardson

    Great experiance trecking around in an FV432 with great staff and a good little collection in the museum with WW2 and Cold War era tech.

  244. a dingsdale

    Had a brilliant experience. Our instructor Toby was very good , excellent knowledge of the machine we drove. would recommend this to everyone

  245. David Hughes

    This was something I always fancies and never got around to doing. I enjoyed every bit of it. Friendly welcoming staff. My instructor was Luke, who was very knowledgable and made the whole experience relaxed, yet really good fun. No doubt I???ll be back in the future.

  246. Chris Titmuss

    Really enjoyed the experience

  247. Paul Culley

    An enjoyable two or three hours overall. The title is misleading because it’s not really a tank, but I suppose the experience is similar. Lee, my instructor, was excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. The museum is interesting and worth looking around. Good value fun, but I would recommend doing it in nice weather rather than chilly November.

  248. Ron Burley

    Had realy good day inspite of the weather must come again on a sommers day, Chears Ron

  249. Artur

    Booked tank driving experience.Clothes were provided, so no need to worry. Great experience. I ride the tank approx 40 min, intresting tank museum around. As it was not cheap experience could be nice if the photos will be a little bit cheaper or just free as is not a lot of diference between them. If you only keep company to someone you will be charge 6 pound for visit.

  250. Ashley Brooks

    Overall it was a great experience. Chris was an excellent instructor. I felt the simple oval track was a bit disappointing, though. It would be much improved if it featured some obstacles which allowed you to engage a bit more with the vehicle. The museum is a nice addition, and provides an interesting way to pass the time while waiting.

  251. Timothy JAgo

    We spent a morning at Amegeddon for my fathers birthday. He seemed to really enjoy himself and was only sorry that it was over so quickly.

  252. Ollie

    I absolutely loved the tank driving experience. I got given the experience as a birthday present and couldn’t have been more impressed with the day. Chris, our instructor, did a great job of making us welcome and explaining what I needed to do to get us rolling. It was incredible to begin moving the tank around the course- buttoning up and driving with the hatch closed was the best bit. The museum was brilliant and a nice surprise and had some fantastic pieces in there (the 88 and the T72 were personal favourites). I’ll definitely be coming back! Thanks to all the staff for a top morning

  253. Andy Jackson

    It was a good experience but not as I had hoped….just went round in circles and couldn’t use the fv432 to its full potential…kept getting told to slow down in case it broke down…so it was ok but not as I had hoped….

  254. Steve western

    Excellent day. Enjoyed every minute. Wi??l definitely go back

  255. Roly Ashley

    Awesome day – lots of fun in a unique experience! Staff very friendly and thorough in safety briefing! Interesting set of static vehicles and artefacts on show. Food available is good quality too

  256. Julie

    Amazing experience. We all loved it and would do it again. There was one driver in our group and three of us as passengers. We all said we’d do it again. Chris, our instructor, was excellent. Awesome experience. Museum was really interesting and well worth walking round.

  257. Phil Brown

    As much fun as you can have in a muddy field in Leicestershire with your trousers on 🙂 Thanks to everyone at Armourgeddon.

  258. Paul Brant

    Great time, instructor very clued up and good company.

  259. Martin Williams

    Great fun. Friendly, helpful staff made this a memorable experience. Lots of mud and despite slow progress I completed the three laps.

  260. Vicky

    Brought a tank driving experience for my partner and he loved it so much that we’re thinking of doing a different one. Great instructors as well

  261. Harvey Marston

    Great fun, the instructor was super – a good experience. In addition, I was surprised how good the museum was, well done!

  262. Tim Fielding

    One of the best days driving I’ve had. Nothing gets in your way ha ha

  263. Pauline Bayliss

    I bought this for my husband and son and they managed to find time to do it yesterday. They thoroughly enjoyed the whole experiance, both the tank driving and the museum. The staff were friendly and informative.

  264. Darren Cox

    21 Oct 2018: Did the tank driving experience with my 25 year old daughter. Very relaxed and friendly staff. Got there earlier than required, so wandered around the museum part first (included in package, £6 entry for additional family/friends/spectators), well worth a look – no climbing on tanks allowed but you get inside a personnel carrier to experience the cramped conditions. Driving experience lasted ~1.5 hours; Introduction / safety talks followed by a short lap with instructor driving to explain the course; then you take control with two extended laps (1 with hatch up / 1 with hatch down using the tiny periscope for vision). As we had the “experience”, there was just the two of us + instructor in the tank (for others, it was a party of three per tank + instructor) Tips: Go last if you want to “park” your tank at the end of the session. Take a GoPro or similar. Afterwards, the option to buy a disc of your session’s photos (95 good quality photos on ours), only ??20 per person (£15 for us, as we both had the experience package). A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

  265. Mantas

    The experience was great! Dan is an excellent guide and tank commander!

  266. Jamie Etherington

    Brilliant!! Absolutely loved this experience. The course is great, very authentic and the instructor was fab. Would recommend.

  267. Catherne

    Booked this for my son who???s 17. He had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the whole experience. The people running it were friendly and enthusiastic and the facilities for the spectators were good.

  268. David Burdis

    Brilliant day tank driving. Tank, overalls, tutoring and museum all included.

  269. Keith Carter

    Brilliant time and the weather was wet all the way. Great fun but you???ll need to climb about inside. Very simple to operate with an expert instructor to show you the ropes. A good insight into the lives of the crews. I???ll be back with my sons.

  270. S Spencer

    This was a superb experience that could only have been improved by an extra lap!

  271. Harriet

    Absolutely amazing couldn???t fault it will defiantly be back to try the paint balling fantastic attentive staff museum was brilliant so much in a small place deffinatly worth the price

  272. andy bottomer

    excellent day ,ive been unwell for a while and i had the biggest smile on my face ever since ,great staff excellent day i would recommend it to everybody.

  273. Danielle

    Had a great time driving a tank. Was a very worth while experience. George our tank instructor was great! Would do the experience again, maybe in drier conditions. Armourgeddon Tanks does not only have tank driving, there is also paint ball, archery a fabulous military vehicle museum. Thank you for the memorable experience for my boyfriend and I.

  274. Adam C

    Great fun. There was torrential rain all day, which made it more fun as the tank slipped around a lot more! Nick was great as an instructor, very knowledgeable. All round a great experience

  275. Nicola Greenfield

    Amazing experience very expensive for the length of time on the tank. But I???d defo do it again great afternoon

  276. Carol

    Great fun!

  277. Paul Kerrison

    Fantastic day and Tim our instructor was very knowledgeable. Would recommend it to anyone. Will be bringing my grandson next time.

  278. sara line

    really enjoyed the tank driving experience; Toby’s instruction was clear and kindly delivered; wonder if the field could have a dip or hill to drive on to enhance the experience. Could you consider producing perhaps one glossy paper photo for ??3 or ??4 as souvinire rather than just the DVD for ??20 for CD of pics; just a thought as I would have bought 1 pic but did not buy the CD

  279. Viv Crahart

    Brilliant experience for myself and my new wife. Part of our honeymoon road trip. Excellent experience, staff really friendly and willing to help and share knowledge about everything in the museum as well as the vehicle we were driving. Would love to do it again.

  280. Gemma Marner-Gray

    I was given a gift of the tank driving experience from my husband for my 50th birthday – something I have always wanted to do. It was absolutely awesome, I loved every minute of it! It was informative and I learned alot about tanks that I didn’t know, but more than that it was great fun. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

  281. Anthony Davies

    This was given as a gift, and what a gift I wish I had booked it earlier. We arrived at the centre and we’re met by the instructer and he ran through everything I was going to do. It was nice to understand what we would be doing and he was clear on what I would be doing during my experiance. As I had book this in October I guess there was a lack of people who were there, I think the only dissapointment was we were the only ones there, however it was nice not to rush through the experience. I have recommended this experience to my colleagues and hope they enjoy it as much as I did. Please keep up the good work guys and hope to see you again soon.

  282. Tracy Watson

    Absolutely awesome day messing about in the mud in a tank awsome instructor can’t wait to come back would recommend it 100% .

  283. Ray watson

    I really enjoyed the experience, my guide/instructor James or Alex (I think) was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions with great enthusiasm and professionally.

  284. John Gregson

    A great day out! Really enjoyed the driving experience. Makes you appreciate what the army staff that drive them go through when they drive the kit in anger! A great museum with very interesting exhibits. Thoroughly recommended.

  285. Vic Farminer

    Really a wonderfully time I had, Heather is an excellent, instructor, My also enjoyed the experience of riding on the top of the tank. I would and will recommend this tank driving to all I talk to, also the museum is very interesting and laid out. Thankyou again Heather for a great time. regards Vic

  286. John Winchester

    Very enjoyable. only negative was the experience was too short

  287. Andy Burnett

    Absolutely fantastic experience. All staff were very helpful and friendly. Clear instructions and advice given, can’t wait to do it again. Highly recommended.

  288. Matthew Lynch-wilson

    It was a fantastic birthday experience! Friendly and genuine staff especially Joel but everyone there was nice and encouraging and the actual driving and museum made it the best birthday ever. Cant wait to come back soon!

  289. James W

    Fantastic day out, I’d encourage anyone who loves their driving to come along and have a go driving a tank.

  290. Claire

    Really enjoyed the experience. The staff were very friendly, it was well organised and the museum gave us something to look at whilst we waited. Good for a quirky day out and nice to have the option to buy all the photos. Thanks armourgeddon!

  291. Mollymannsy

    Forgot to add….. the cd of photos was great but putting them on a USB stick would have been better as most laptops don???t have a CD player anymore.

  292. Mollymannsy

    Bought as a Christmas gift for my husband to drive the tank which he thoroughly enjoyed. I also paid ??20 extra so that I could join my husband in the tank sitting in the turret which was great for photo taking as well as exciting. Bought a disc of photos to look at at home that the company also took.

  293. John Jenkins

    An absolutely fantastic experience, worth every penny! A truly immersive experience. Staff were amazing, extremely welcoming and friendly.

  294. Evgeniy Donchev

    Great experience! Awesome instructors! Thanks for an unforgettable experience driving a tank! :))))

  295. Paul Spencer

    OK experience. Would have liked a bigger vehicle, a ‘proper’ tank rather than a tracked APC which isn’t a tank plus a more interesting circuit with some obstacles.

  296. Bettina Hendrischke

    My partner was driving and I joined as a passenger. GREAT fun!! Lovely instructor!! Highly recommended!!

  297. Ed Lewis

    Very Good Fun and Stubborn Sheep! However, ??6 for a guest to enter is exorbitant. The overalls were tatty and there was a lot of mud around in the changing area. The Comms in the earpieces were worse than average. Sometimes I couldn???t hear instructions clearly Apart from that, Geronimo!

  298. Nicholas Melbourne-Kennedy

    Great day out, Joel my instructor was fantastic and very patient. What ever you are paying him it is not enough. Thanks again,

  299. Robert C C Lang

    Very enjoyable, thank you. The instructor was extremely helpful and very nice. A good day out.

  300. Peter Duckett

    Great stuff? Booked on Thursday with Tracey, nice and easy, had a bit of long journey nearly 3 hours from London, via crashes and road works, but had Bento take us through the course and had a great time driving round the course. My Son rode shotgun and videoed my manoeuvres from the back and family had a great laugh watching it. Had a real fun time and with Ben on cans managed to reverse the tank back in place on the blind side. THX. Peter.D

  301. jeff Measor

    An absolutely brilliant experience What a fun experience this was. The museum is very good, and the whole place is run very professionally. Driving the tank was an absolute blast, made even better by my instructor Ben, who gave all the time that I needed in instruction, he was brilliant. The set up is very impressive with about 20 tanks. Groups can even have battles with paint balls being fired by the cannons. YOU MUST TRY THIS!!!!

  302. Andrew Fenton

    Hi All, Having never driven a tank, I can now tick this off the list. Such a cool experience and would highly recommend this to anyone, even if they had never envisaged themselves as a natural tank driver. One suggestion for the future would be to perhaps introduce slightly more of an obstacle course rather than a straight drive around the track, although I’m aware the tanks aren’t entirely robust. Many thanks again, Andy

  303. David

    Absolutely superb experience and staff were brilliant

  304. Bill Pitcher

    The experience was bought for me by my wife and son as a retirement present. Even though it was nearly a three hour drive for us we all thoroughly enjoyed our day. Matt our instructor was great and explained all the H&S rules clearly and also helped us to get the best out of the experience. We paid extra so my wife and son could come along as passengers and they both really enjoyed. A bonus is the brilliant on site museum, full of wonderfully restored vehicles in realistic settings. We also took advantage of the small cafe where they sold reasonably priced refreshments. At the end of the experience you have the opportunity to purchase a CD of photographs taken while you???re driving round priced at ??20. We bought one but unfortunately had problems viewing several of the images but we???re in contact with Armourgeddon about this and hopefully something can be sorted. We can definitely recommend a visit to Armourgeddon for that extra special gift for someone, they???ll really enjoy it.

  305. Charles Frost

    Really enjoyed my visit. Good museum and the driving was brilliant

  306. Mike Hayes

    This was the most fun I have had in ages. Very friendly staff and very professionally run. Couldn’t be better.

  307. Andy Godfrey

    What a marvellous place! The instructors really know what they are doing. I felt empowered but completely safe while driving… and more importantly it was really exciting to actually drive a tank!

  308. Andy Murdock

    A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Good fun for all the family

  309. David Tate

    What a fantastic experience. Highly recommended. I would definitely do it again. The museum is also with a visit. Great set up, well done to all of you

  310. Jackelin Rademakers

    I got the Tank Driving experience, the archery and the air rifle shooting for my son’s 18th birthday. I got some great advice from Tracy on how to put together a program for the day. We had a great day. A wonderful staff, very helpfull. A really great experience and we will certainly be back! Thank you guys for this super fun day!

  311. Vicky Belrhazy

    Me and my friend had the best couple of hours cruising around in the Tank.. thank you for a great experience

  312. Wayne Ruston

    Booked this for my partner as it was on her bucket list, she drove I was a passenger. Really friendly welcoming staff and at an easy to find venue The instructor introduced himself and was friendly and very knowledgeable The tank was fantastic and my partner absolutely loved driving it as I knew she would, as the passenger itcwoukd have been good to be able to hear the instructions being given and her reaction as she drove but that didn???t spoil the overall experience it is just something that I would have liked. Very enjoyable experience that I would recommend to anyone . Thank you Wayne and Mechala

  313. Jamie Hone

    Did the driving experience with Gareth as the instructor. Loved every minute, a brilliant thing to do! Will be back for the tank battle, as that looks great too!

  314. Matthew West

    Fantastic experience. Would definitely do this again! Hightly recommended

  315. Patrick Kellam

    This was a surprise 50th birthday present for my wife of which she absolutely loved once she got over the shock of what she was going to do. She enjoyed it so much she is still talking about it and wants to do it again. Your instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful during her time driving the tank. Many thanks for making her day so memorable.

  316. Steven Lowe

    Throughly enjoyed my trip back down memory lane, staff were excellent and the museum was outstanding thank you

  317. keith

    Wow, what an experience! Not what I expected at all – exceeded my expectations. The course we used gave me the opportunity to fully appreciate what the vehicle could do having had everything explained by Alex who give me confidence and very constructive feedback. I would have no hesitation in recommending this activity. Well done! Something I won’t forget for many years to come.

  318. Lynn Leafe

    This was booked by me for my son as a fathers day gift for being a wonderful daddy to his two little boys. My son thoroughly enjoyed the experience and it gave him memories to cherish of a lovely day with his father whom I booked on the dads and lads experience for his 60th. I was so happy to hear they both had a wonderful time and had lots to talk about on their return. Thank you to all at Armourgeddon. 🙂 🙂

  319. Dave Masterson

    A great day out. A very professional setup, well stocked museum with some interesting exhibits. Knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful staff. The only let down for me was the cost and quality of the photographs on CD. Some of the photos were blurred, out of focus, and duplicated. The ??20 cost I thought was a bit steep. Having said that nobody forces you to buy it, no pushy salesman.

  320. Chris

    A great experience ! My son has wanted to drive an armoured vehicle for many years, and Armourgeddon made it happen. Ginger Chris was a great instructor, and ensured my son had a safe and happy experience. Tanks a lot !

  321. Kevin Turley

    I have always wanted to sit in a tank. I felt like a kid in a sweet shop, I throughly enjoyed the whole experience and I will certainly recommend you to other people I know x

  322. Richard

    Armourgeddon is a must see for any Tank/Military enthusiasts. The staff are friendly and professional, and the Museum houses a good selection of vehicles to see with a ton of information about them. The Tank Driving experience is an absolute must! I had great fun driving the AFV 432. A big thank you to my instructor, Chris, who made it a truely awesome time, you’re a top bloke!

  323. Emma Field

    Couldn’t have asked for a better 21st birthday gift. The instructor was very funny and helpful to settle my nerves. Just wish it was for longer than an hour.

  324. Len Seymour

    Great fun and excellent instruction. Really a challenge when the lid is down and you have to look out through something no bigger than a letter box. Surprisingly agile and fast – was told to slow down on one occasion which added to the enjoyment. Highly recommended and could be additive. Will go back for the advanced lesson early next year.

  325. Tom Gray

    An absolutely brilliant experience. The instructor was excellent – really friendly and informative. The tanks were awesome too – thoroughly recommend!

  326. Scott Ronayne

    We travelled to Armourgeddon from Suffolk and gave ourselves some extra travelling time but we arrived 50 minutes early. Upon arrival we were greeted immediately by cheerful, friendly staff and we were given the opportunity to get straight in, so we took it! We were kitted out with good quality over trousers, jacket and helmet. We were given a very thorough safety brief and then away we went. After the instructor took us around it was our turn and what a brilliant thrill it was. Our instructor (Alex) was very knowledgeable and really made us feel relaxed and helped us enjoy the day. We also bought the photo disc and the pictures were fantastic. Thanks for making it a great day for us!

  327. Noel

    Thank you Shane for a great day, I now want a tank for Christmas!

  328. D Evans

    I had the best time.Such an incredible experience.so much fun highly recommend to anyone.

  329. Simon

    Great day me, wife and in law who is 80 and loved it, Matt was our instructor top bloke , def go again well worth it

  330. Wilson

    Had an amazing day, lots of fun. Alex was brilliant is knowledge of the tank wad amazing aswell.

  331. Alison Walters

    Booked a tank driving experience lesson which was well worth the money. Had a fabulous day. Staff courteous, professional and extremely helpful. Made you feel very welcome. Also enjoyed the museum. Great day. Would highly recommend.

  332. Victoria Humphrey

    The whole experience was fab! The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable. Just want to do it again!!!

  333. Ken Ireland

    Great day out and lovely staff. go on try it

  334. Robin Platts

    A great experience and thought Armourgeddon was very impressive. Particularly liked the museum. Only let down was that the instructor forgot to tell us that you would be taking pictures, and where to look, so our pictures could have been better as we were often looking away.

  335. Darrell Whitehouse

    Sorry cant comment as never made it as was ill. But when we phoned to see if we could change the date as it was on the day we couldn’t, but the girl was very nice and helpful.

  336. Cristinel Marcu

    Awesome experience. I do recommend it to everyone.

  337. Stella Dawson

    Excellent experience really enjoyed it staff were brilliant

  338. mrs susan birch

    My daughter and I bought the voucher for my husbands 65th birthday and retirementin secret.when he arrived he went with G(GARETH) and he said he had a brilliant time and thoroughly enjoyed it.It made his birthday Please thank G for me.

  339. Edward Woore

    Great day of tank driving for my son and friend as passenger. He is mad on tanks and plays war thunder for hours – so took to this like a duck to water. Museum good too

  340. RICHARD CORSTON

    What a great day really enjoyed the driving,Rich the instructor was very clear in all the instructions and safety issues.The cafe stocked good quality products at a good price the visit around the museum was very interesting with a very good range of displays would recomend a visit even if you do not want to dive a tank it worth going to

  341. Caroline Malpass

    Hi Brilliant experience. I have recommended to all of my friends. Five star fun

  342. Graham Underwod

    i am 62 year old man and had a great experience. Stuart instructor had a great manner and ensured i got the best from the experience. Not something you do every day nor do you have to b a military buff to appreciate doing something completely different. Also make you appreciate the bravery of those who did man tanks in combat! Thanks

  343. david turner

    Fantastic experience would do it again ,museum is also great,staff very helpful all in all a good day out

  344. Helen Barron

    Great afternoon, bought this as a present for my partner. He drove the tank and really enjoyed it and i loved being his passenger. Alex was a great instructor, confident and easy to get on with, made us feel comfortable. Museum very interesting too. Fantastic afternoon out, would highly recommend.

  345. Teresa Grayburn

    My sons had a great time and really enjoyed driving the tank. They want to come back to do the firing of a tank or paintballing. Really friendly staff.

  346. tony hayden (2320-0001)

    I felt short changed. Your description states: 1 lap driven by the instructor, 1 lap with me driving with the hatch open, another lap with the hatch closed,and the last lap of my choice. Yet all I got was a partial lap driven by the instructor, 3/4 of a lap with the the hatch open and 1/2 a lap with the hatch shut and park up. Not impressed.

  347. Mike Naylor

    Interesting day out. Good museum and basic, good value sandwiches, cakes and drinks. Tank driving was fun, if very dusty. My friend came along as passenger and enjoyed himself too.

  348. Paul Stokes

    Excellent tank driving experience, The only reason it didnt get 5 stars is due to the intercom whichc didnt work most of the time even though my instructor tried his best to get it working.

  349. Adam

    Brilliant day out with family,great staff, very helpful. All was organized well,no time delay. It was fab Xmas gift, highly recommend.

  350. Adriana Rosales Cardozo

    It was really nice, I would recommend.

  351. Christopher Bowler

    Myself and my partner completed the Tank Driving Experience,we both really enjoyed this, its not often you get the chance to drive such a vehicle unless you have served in the forces. The instructor was patient and supportive, my partner was the driver and she grinned from ear to ear. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a unique experience. There is a museum on site and along with the chance to purchase refreshments it made for a great occasion, so much so, we bought a CD to remind ourselves and show friends and family.

  352. Trudy bird

    Excellent experience!super friendly staff and a brilliant set up. Highly recommend this to all ages! We will definitely be returning

  353. Gregg Taylor

    Excellent tank driving experience, facilities and instructor were very professional, pitched with the right level of info and instruction. Great 40th birthday experience. The museum was also better than anticipated with some quality exhibits including the restored Flak 88, again the right amount of info and well laid out displays. Pleasant seating and cafe area for family to hang out and view driving activities. Will be recommending. For return visit, would be great to try out different tanks!

  354. Steve Chamberlain

    Many thanks for an excellent afternoon’s entertainment. The museum was very good, and the tank driving experience lived up to my expectations – it was thrilling.

  355. wouter van Essen

    brilliant experience every one enjoyed it would recommend to any one with some interest in tank driving

  356. Mr Michael A Reeve

    Great experience & really enjoyed. Only downside was finding the place as signposting not clear from the village

  357. Jon Davies

    Loved the day. Guys there were great. If you want to drive a tank, go here.

  358. Mr M Watts

    A great day out and the staff were brilliant.

  359. Mark Evans

    Absolutely LOVED my Tank Driving Experience. It was simply fantastic. The instructor was super-helpful, knowledgeable, and had a brilliant sense of humour. I enjoyed every second of it – the time flew past sooooooo quickly! The museum was really really cool too – some really amazing vehicles to see. I would highly recommend Armourgeddon to anyone!

  360. Chris

    Amazing fun. Loved every minute. Instructor was great, taking me through the controls and giving clear and friendly instructions on how to drive the tank. Would recommend to anyone who fancies a drive with a difference

  361. Chris Gilbert

    A great experience and highly recommend. My wife and daughter also enjoyed the experience with me for an additional ??20 per person. Great value for money.

  362. Alan Broadbent

    A fantastic tank experience. Makes you appreciate what it may be like as a Tank driver. Joel the instructor was great, making me feel at ease and comfortable on the controls. Museum is a great place to go as well; seeing how big these tanks are and appreciating all the background material and of course lots of other armaments to see from trucks to field guns.

  363. Patrick O’meara

    a highly enjoyable occassion,the whole experience from start to finish was great,the way everything was explained and demonstrated was first rate,all and all a great day.

  364. Paul Burbidge

    Excellent experience. Really enjoyed it and the museum. My instructor was excellent and really good, Will do it again.

  365. Darren Chard

    Fantastic fun, very friendly and knowledgeable staff, all instructions are clear and to the point, would visit again tomorrow!

  366. Samantha Lawler

    This was my 40th Birthday present and it did not disappoint. What an amazing experience, The instructor was great, he had knowledge about the vehicles and was patient with his guidance and offered advice throughout. Thank you Armourgeddon I look forward to coming back and trying the paintballing!

  367. Gary Knight

    Enjoyed the experience but a little disappointed that we couldn’t use the bottom field because of the mud.

  368. Craig Ball

    Great experience, easy to book, staff were all friendly. Instructor was clear and relaxed, explained everything and gave us a lot of information about the tank. Bought for my brother as part of his stag do, he was buzzing after the tank driving experience. Good price, would recommend as a unique gift.

  369. Carol

    Had a fab time driving the tank and really happy my family sat in with me too. Very dusty and very hot in the tank as was a very hot day. Thought it would be a full hour drive. Very happy I parked the tank perfectly between two tanks – who says women can???t drive!!

    Driving the 432 was a Christmas present from my children and I am so pleased that they did this for me. I have had an interest in military Vehicles for some time and the chance to drive a fv432 was a real treat. The instructor was friendly and knowledgeable about the vehicle. The driving was easy with the hatch open and when we closed down you got an idea what it was like driving in more hazardous conditions. We even managed to reverse park between the other 432s I do recommend taking some one along to share the experience and to film or take photos of the drive as well as the excellent site photos Thank you for providing a great day The museum is good as well so much in such a small space

  371. Liz Gould

    My son & I cane for the tank driving experience & what an experience it was ! A huge thank you to Gareth , our instructor, who was patient, encouraging and very pleasant with both of us . Gareth drove us around the circuit first so we could get a feel for the layout then it was my turn ! It was great fun & I thoroughly enjoyed it . When my time was up Stuart & I swapped places & we were off again ! It was great fun even as a passenger. We ended up very dusty having declined the offer of overalls because of the heat , but that was all part of the fun too . The on site museum is well worth a look around. The collection of vehicles is impressive and they are all capable of running ! Would we go again ? You bet ! Thanks Gareth for making our day !

  372. Natasha Palmer

    It was a fantastic experience. All the staff and the instructor were friendly and welcoming.

  373. Darren Blakemore

    First time but not the last. Absolutely fantastic day, great staff and Charlie my instructor was great. See you again soon

  374. Steve Surman

    Many thanks for the Experience. Loved it and thanks to Shane for his great guidance.

  375. Neale Millett

    Brilliant fun! The instructor was great and the whole experience great!!

  376. Craig Mullock

    Excellent day me and my daughter loved it, safety was paramount, my instructor/guide was very knowledgeable, about the driving and the history and specs of the 432 apv, and was very polite and easy to get on with, which made it more enjoyable, and the mueseum was larger than I expected and would be well worth the journey and ??6 to visit on its own, I would recommend the experience to anyone and everyone, and have already recommended to my work mates friends and family, and I???m hoping I get another this Xmas ready for next summer.

  377. Andy Ainsworth

    It was a thoroughly worthwhile and enjoyable experience. Alex, the trainer, was clear, understandable and pitched the training at the right level for me. It was interesting, informative and good fun. I would recommend it to anybody who is reasonably fit. It does involve some careful clambering in and out of seats.

  378. George Connor

    What a great time!! I absolutely loved it, the whole experience was mind blowing, from first walking into “Armourgeddon” i was met with very warm and friendly staff who immediately put you at ease and kept you informed of all what was going on.The tank driving instructor was so good at making you feel calm and taking you through all what you got to do, that by the time the experience had finished i wanted to go again! I can honestly say that everyone should give this a go you will not be disappointed, thanks guys for a brilliant time

  379. Thomas Warley

    I had a great time at Armourgeddon. The place was easy to find and upon arrival, the staff were polite. The instructor was helpful and knowledgeable about the tank. The museum was also very interesting and has a wide range or tanks, guns etc. A very fun Sunday morning!

  380. cara Courtnell

    Brought this experience for my dads 60th and he thoroughly enjoyed himself definitely worth the money

  381. Chris Hallam

    Great day, Richard my instructor was very knowledgeable and made the driving alot easier than expected. Great fun and unforgettable experience.

  382. Carly Patrucci

    Fantastic day! Thoroughly enjoyed it. The museum was fascinating and the tank driving was amazing with a very knowledgeable instructir

  383. Michael Cassell

    We all had a fantastic time, Shane my instructor was brilliant. What a wonderful afternoon, it was easy to find, the museum was great to look around, but the Tank Drive was the absolute icing on the cake for me. Will visit again.

  384. Nathan

    A fantastic few hours of tank driving with my dad over the weekend. We were lucky enough to have Stuart looking after us, top guy. All round excellent day. Would recommend highly.

  385. Geoff Swindells

    I have driven an FV432 at Armourgeddon before, but this time went for the driving experience for a longer drive. Particularly when closed down, you are totally reliant on your instructor as the view is very limited, but it is good fun driving a tracked vehicle.

  386. Jason

    Was given a tank driving experience for my birthday. Had an excellent day. Staff are all friendly and seem to love what they do (who wouldn’t?!). Would recommend to anyone!

  387. Lorraine Monkman

    Had a tank experience it was out of this world really enjoyed it can’t wait to do anther one

  388. Ed Spencer

    Fantastic day out. Staff and experience were top rate and the museum was far larger and more impressive than I was expecting. 10/10.

  389. Brian Cooper

    Well organized event, with helpful knowledgeable staff

  390. Lindsey

    Bought as a present for my boyfriend and he absolutely loved it. Alex was very welcoming and knowledgeable which made the session even better. Highly recommended

  391. FIONA Day

    We all had a fantastic day, Devon loved driving the tank and the 2 passengers loved it too. Definitely worth it and would highly recommend

  392. Trevor Lisseman

    Excelent experiance instructor was first class

  393. Simon Goldsmith

    Had an amazing time. Tanks were awesome and the staff really friendly. Museum had some great items that I was really surprised to see! Can???t wait to come back and try the paintball battle. Thanks for a great experience.

  394. Ray dodd

    It was an experience I will never forget, the staff were so welcoming and couldn’t do enough for you. I had a one to one tank drive with Luke and it was brilliant, I would recommend the experience and the two French girls were amazing.Well done to everybody at armourgeddon.

  395. Neil Humphreys

    Possible the best thing I have done in a long time. The staff are very friendly and the tanks are awesome!

  396. Chris

    Great experience – my son was beaming from ear to ear after driving the tank. And the view from the turret was pretty good too. I thoroughly recommend this experience.

  397. Ian Chapman

    A good driving experience although a little on the expensive side and not a great deal to do, don’t arrive to early

  398. Dave Hardwick

    A great day out as part of my birthday celebrations. Charles my instructor was friendly and patient. The museum was much bigger than I had expected with lots of exhibits. Would love to go back there with my son and granddaughter and share a fantastic day out and would recommend Armourgeddon even on days when the temperature was in the 30s.

  399. Andrew Gardner

    Great fun. Wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Staff and Instructors were friendly. Tanks are interesting and easy to drive.

  400. Mike Jenkins

    A brilliant driving experience. It was one of the hottest days of the year but this did not stop us having a great time.

  401. Paul Cook

    Excellent experience and we loved the museum too

  402. Rob

    Great fun would recommend it to anyone. The day was very hot and you need to wear old clothes, very dusty and gave a small snapshot of what desert warfare could be like.

  403. Natasha

    Absolutely amazing experience. Really great day out and staff (Shane!) were fantastic 🙂

  404. Sean Jiranek

    It is so much fun driving a huge and powerful chunk of metal around a track. Not as difficult as you would think controlling it either- the challenge comes from knowing where you are in relation to the environment- especially with the hatch down. The instructor (Alex) was very knowledgeable giving some interesting information about the vehicle and being very patient and clear when giving directions on manoeuvres such as descending and ascending slopes, taking tight corners and even backing the vehicle into a parking spot when your only view is a letter box sized opening showing only what’s in front of you. This is exactly the sort of thing these experience days are meant for. The chance to do something incredible that you would not expect you would be able to.

  405. Staunton Lynch

    This was booked for my 70th birthday gift and what a fantastic experience it was! Everyone was very friendly and the tank just like I had imagined, it was an experience I’ll never forget! Thanks very much armourgeddon I would defiantly recommend his place! X

  406. David mudd

    I had a great tank experience today. I felt it allowed you to have a taste of what our armed forces encounter. Actually having full control of a big piece of armour was brilliant with having no real restrictions. Charlies (tank) instructor was great and was on the ball where health and safety matters were concerned. Highly recommended it!

  407. Dave Houghton

    A huge thank you for a superb day out. I went with my son David as a birthday present from my daughter Deb. Thanks to Steve for the superb instruction about the AFV and its role in the British Army. It was a joy to drive ,really great. The museum was an interesting visit and the photo CD is great value for money. Thanks to all at Armourgeddon. Dave & Dave

  408. Martin Rochford

    Great experience for me and the passengers – only thing I would say is if it’s raining don’t go for 2 laps with the hatch closed as you can’t see anything and you’re then just following directions from the instructor – good for comms skills ! Didn’t get asked for choice of 3rd lap – my fault perhaps for not asking. Would definitely do it all again.

  409. Emily

    My 81 year old father and my brother came last sunday. They had the best day! The staff were all brilliant and the photo cd is so worth buying. Thank you all for making the day great!

  410. Trevor Sparrow

    My day was awesome. If you are thinking of doing a tank driving day, or getting one for someone as a present – buy one here – it’s very, very good. The museum is also surprising good too.

  411. Tim

    What a great experience. Stuart my instructor was superb, very polite, informative and well, just a nice guy. Course was very, very muddy which made it interesting and whilst the lower part of the course was ???out of bounds??? it in no way detracted from a super time. Just a great excuse to go back and do it again. Museum was great afterwards and all the staff superb.

  412. Richard Farr

    What a fabulous adventure! We loved it all. Perfect weather, lots of mud and an amazing new experience. We were very well cared for by Richard and thoroughly enjoyed our time with you. We were also very happy with the photos which made a great souvenir. Thank you

  413. Flame charl

    The best day ever! Booked this for me and my partner he loved it! Our instructor Alex was amazing! Definitely worth the money, even has its own museum which itself is worth visiting. Alex told us they do tank battles so we are definitely up for that! Could not fault anything! Hope to see you again soon. Thanks from Richard and Flame

  414. Margaret Doe

    I was really impressed with armourgeddon, it was treat for my grandsons 16th birthday. What a day he had, he is a tank fanatic, and to be able to drive one, which was for him, was out of this world. His father and his brother went in the tank drive as well. The organisation and the other things you do was impressive. The museum was great. The weather was good and we had our picnic at the outside tables watching Max in his tank and then watching others, paintballing and the hover craft look interesting . Thankyou for a lovely day

  415. Kaz, Mike & boys

    Fantastic day tank driving for the boys, very well run organisation from the first enquiry by phone to the day itself. Highly recommended!

  416. Rosemarie Rose

    Amazing experience which I would do again,also enjoyed the museum. Overall a 5 star experience which 100% would recommended.

  417. Simon Warner

    It was an amazing three hrs, the tank driving and paintball experience was well worth the money. Would recommended this to anyone.

  418. Rebecca Baker

    I had the best time, a really great experience and the instructor was really helpful and friendly. Over i would highly recommend them.

  419. Diane koczan

    the tank experience was brilliant and really enjoyed myself would do it again. And would recommend the experience to anyone else. Fantastic birthday present.

  420. Steve Neville

    Having driven most other types of vehicle it was a challenge to try something new. The tank driving experience was great fun made more interesting by the wet and muddy conditions on the day. I was very impressed with the military museum which was an interesting way to while away the time before the driving experience started. The whole event was enhanced by the obvious job satisfaction felt by the instructors and staff. Well done all round!

  421. Joe Manorajah

    It was great, such a unique experience driving a tank and the staff were very helpful in accomodating my group on a busy weekend.

  422. Paul Smith

    Good morning out, friendly staff, enjoyable experience driving the tank.

  423. Roger Tolson

    Excellent day out.

  424. Daniel donnelly

    This experience was worth every penny and more! It was bought as a gift for my birthday and by far beats the lotus drive I did last year. Every single aspect of the service, museum to the tank driving went way beyond my wildest dreams. Thanks a million to all the team for their support and I haven???t stopped smiling or talking about it since coming back. Will be back for my 50th next year!!

  425. Tristan Lee

    I had an awesome time and thanks for the special accommodation for my situation, definitely recommend this place for anyone who wants to drive a tank. I look forward to coming back and sound it again.

  426. Wayne Brookes

    Really enjoyable experience

  427. Nik

    This was bought as a present for me and it was a brilliant present. You get to drive an amoured personal carrier. The instructor was excellent. The APC was brilliant to drive. Driving such a heavy piece of machinery is really satisfying. I was definitely buzzing afterwards and highly recommend. There is also the tank museum to visit which has some excellent pieces in it.

  428. Richard Embrey.

    Excellent time and first experience driving a Tank, a bit concerned as I don’t drive a care that well. Darren the instructor who is ex military was first class and delivered clear and concise instructions. Had such fun and gave me an appreciation of the difficulties the professionals have in this confined, hot space. I would recommend this to most people as a very novel gift. Well done to all involved.

  429. Nick Poole

    Gave Brother-in-Law, who has slight learning difficulties, a ‘Tank Driving Experience’ for his birthday. What an absolute hit this was and he really enjoyed every single minute. The Staff looked after him so well and he raved about his morning for days afterwards, especially the part when he drove with the hatches closed. Thank you Armourgeddon for giving him an experience he will never forget. We will definitely, without doubt, be back and couldn’t recommend you highly enough. Well done and many thanks – Nick & family.

  430. Katheryn Harmer

    I had an amazing time! I was so worried about it before hand about how difficult it might have been but the instructor was fantastic……so calm and clear I couldn’t have asked for better! As for the tank driving itself…….wow……I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone looking for something very different to do! So so much fun I’ve been grinning ever since!!!!!! Excellent value for money all round! Thank you guys!!!!!

  431. Cathy Barker

    I had a brilliant time – all the staff are very friendly and helpful, with big thanks to Louie for his patient tuition, I’d definitely recommend a visit. Every time I think about driving my tank round the circuit I have a huge smile on my face! The museum is a little gem as well.

  432. Mick H

    Absolutely fantastic, the guys are amazing, nothing is to much trouble, thank you

  433. Gary Walker

  437. Terri Lake

  438. Walter Leatherday

    What can I say, had this bought me in January for my 60th. Heather my Commander on the day very professional with vital instruction and tuition (sorry for coughing in your ear hole x ) 9 yr old grandson Daniel, 32 yr old son Martin and 26yr old Luke who arranged this, their faces say it all. While you stand waiting for your turn just take note of everyone’s silly grins, we will return ! Thanks to all the team at Armourgeddon. FANTASTIC DAY ! DO IT ! I got the hat now I need some land and ??50,000 for the Chieftan tank.
