Tank crushing a car
Offering fun for all the family, the Capel Military Show will take place at Aldhurst Farm, Capel in Surrey on Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th July for its 8th consecutive year.
The Show is set to be bigger, better and more action-packed than ever before with more of everything you love. Tanks, cars being crushed, big guns being fired, explosive battles being fought, a unique tug of war and a host of visiting aircraft including the *RAF Chinook.
Set over five event fields is a variety of military exhibitors from the south of England including over 400 vehicles and the best of British, German, Russian and American re-enactment groups. Ranging from the Second World War right though to modern day, the Show will transport you back in time and take you on a journey through military history. It’s not just about vehicles and troops though, the land army are back with their farm display complete with cows!
The Arena fun starts at 10:00 and doesn’t stop until 16:00. Packed with parades of light vehicles, tracks and armour, two battle re-enactments, car crushing and naval gun firing, the Show also has its very special ‘East Meets West’ tug of war. This is no ordinary tug of war, but a contest of might between two tanks, a Russian OT90 and British-built 432., both fighting to capture the biggest share of a car. The winner is whoever comes away with the biggest chunk of steel.
The main helicopter field plays host to static displays which include the RAF Chinook. There are a range of trade and charity stands providing an interesting variety of shopping and military merchandise. A comprehensive array of local catering stands, fresh coffee, snacks, soft drinks, ice cream and a licensed bar, including a range of cocktails.
After a brief pause in the Arena at 17:00 on Saturday, the party starts again with a live band. The Madhatters Tea Party will be playing music from the 50s through to modern-day hits from 19:00 ‘till late with plenty of food and drink.
Taking the hassle out of your day the show includes added extras to make your experience even more enjoyable; 6 fixed-price catering outlets, licensed bar, free on-site parking, public camping, lost children point, disabled access, informative show commentary and opportunities to meet the pilots.
