"Great show, with lots of old military vehicles, tanks and guns. Many side shows, stalls and reenactment camps. Concluding with a battle reenactment that was very entertaining."
"I don't often stay at events all day but this was exceptional. I really enjoyed it, the arena was superb!"
"What an event, not the first time we have attended and definitely not the last. Next year we will be going for the weekend ticket! Thank you again from a family of four who love to support local event"
"Very child and dog friendly. Very well organised with toilets and food facilities. Evening entertainment sounded good although we stayed at the campsite with the kids. Will definitely be back."
