Whether you’re a dedicated history enthusiast, collector, or simply looking for a memorable day out, the Military World Show offers something special for everyone.
Reconnect with friends and be captivated by full-scale battle re-enactments, expertly choreographed to capture the intensity and adrenaline of combat throughout history. These dynamic displays unfold in a dedicated zone, allowing you to witness the drama of warfare up close, safely distanced from the vehicle displays.
Explore vibrant living history scenes that span thousands of years, from ancient armies to modern military units. Wander through British trench systems, experience the energy of Vietnam War re-enactors, see the Home Front hard at work, or catch glimpses of strategists planning their next move. The impressive array of military vehicles on display includes everything from tanks and artillery to Jeeps, motorbikes, amphibious units, and more.
Collectors and enthusiasts will enjoy an extensive marketplace filled with militaria, antiques, vehicle parts, memorabilia, uniforms, and rare artifacts. Model enthusiasts can marvel at elaborate model displays and connect with skilled craftsmen from around the world who share their expertise and passion.
Take a break from the action in one of our beer tents, featuring daytime entertainment, live music, and even dance lessons from professional instructors to help you jive into the evening. For those camping onsite, nightly events will continue the celebrations with music spanning the decades.
