- Have fun learning to drive tanks - click here for the nearest centre.

You don't need to join the army to learn how to drive a tank just go for a fun day out - and you still get to wear army uniform!

Military Driving Centres

The military driving centres have an assortment of British, American, Russian and NATO vehicles ranging from tanks, jeeps, armoured personnel carriers and amphibious trucks. These include a humvee and chieftain tank.

Pre-booking is essential and events such as stag or hen parties, corporate hospitality and team building can be arranged. Most centres also welcomes individuals and private parties, and children's parties - they get driven by the instructors. Most instructors have military or emergency service experience and are certified by Royal Tank Corps instructors

Some centres can arrange for your meals whilst at their centre, handy for corporate/group events. This includes BBQ's after the fun.

Clothing

I would advise wearing old, but comfortable clothes - you may get a wee bit messy. Boots are essential as it gets very muddy. You will be provided with overalls, helmet and protective/safety clothing and equipment such as gloves and goggles.

Military Gifts

If you are looking for an unusual gift for yourself or for someone else then you can also be put in contact with places where you can buy tanks and also those who sell other military vehicles - though buying a drive a tank experience may be better suited to those with small gardens!

Paintballing

Paintballing can be arranged, as can fun exercises such as hostage rescuing. This is ideal for corporate team building events.

Book a Military Tank Driving Day or a paintballing session or find out more information.
