A fantastic tank driving experience – drive a 17-ton FV432 tank!

About This Activity

This great tank driving experience gives you the opportunity to live out those boyhood fantasies as you learn how to drive 17 tons of hardened steel! You'll quickly learn the basics from an experienced instructor. Once you've got to grips with piloting the beast, it's time to try tackling the obstacle course, with hatches open and your head out. Then, if you're feeling confident, try driving the tank with hatches closed seeing only through your periscopes for the ultimate thrill!

Arrive at the venue at the appointed time and be greeted by your friendly and experienced instructor. First up is a safety briefing, followed by an overview of the tank and its controls. Then you'll spend some time getting used to piloting the craft, before your first test – driving the tank over a World War II bombing range! If you feel confident enough, you can repeat the course under ‘real' conditions, with the hatches down and only your periscope to guide you! Your experience lasts for approximately 45 minutes.
