    Best Birthday Present Ever!
    We had the best day ever! We booked the Private Tank Crush experience as an 80th birthday present for my Dad-in-Law. He was a tank commander in his army days, so he thoroughly enjoyed playing with his favourite toys again, as did the rest of the family. We were very well looked after; the instructor was very knowledgeable and made sure the whole family was included in the experience. We are definitely going again!

    Best experience day ever…
    Fantastic day for our tank-mad son’s 14th birthday. Nick and the team were very attentive and his knowledge and enthusiasm made our day. The hands-on tabk driving experiences were awesome and our son loved being at the control. Highly recommended.

    I bought the Full Monty tank driving as a present for my other half. The organisation of the day is first class. The tank driving activities are 'bulked out' with other things like clay pigeon shooting and an armoury tour but all were very well done. Food was good at lunchtime as were the snacks. Spectators felt involved where they could be but take a sun hat if it's hot and a brolly if it's wet as there is nowhere to shelter. We ended the day with red faces and full grins.

    Absolutely excellent from start to finish!
    I bought the voucher for the Full Monty for my husband's birthday and he thoroughly enjoyed the day. We were really thrilled with how much involvement I, as a spectator, had too. Lunch was really good as were snacks and refreshments throughout the day. We enjoyed the talks as well as the drives and even the rain couldn't dampen our spirits. We met some lovely people and all in all, highly recommend this activity to everyone, whatever age or level of ability you might have.

    Tank driving experience
    Took my son for a full day 'Full Monty' experience and can't recommend it highly enough! Driving and riding in a variety of ex-army vehicles was awesome. The day is split up into a series of different events which keeps it all flowing really well, staff are all great, friendly and knowledgeable. The group ranged from 15 to 68 year old with everyone of us able to fully participate in all the activities. They even managed to provide overalls for me and my son that fit us perfectly, which is no mean feat at 6'3" 20 stone and 6'4" beanpole! Don't think twice - do it!

    I highly recommend this. Thank you Tanks A Lot.
    Went to Tanks A Lot for the half day driving experience as a birthday gift from my family. Different to anything I have done before, and I loved it. The atmosphere is laid back and the instructors are great, and very patient. The group had all ages and abilities and as a result the timings were all approximate, but we moved smoothly through all stages and never felt rushed. I loved all the driving but the springers – as far a way from a tank as you can get – were such good fun!

    Amazing
    What an amazing day we had on 30 September at Tanks A-Lot. Kate and all the instructors were absolutely amazing, kind and caring. I have a fear of falling and they all helped me to get into the tanks and to get out. The food and refreshments were brilliant. Thank you so much Valerie Jennings

    Full Monty the best
    Face ached after grinning so much. If your thinking of booking the full Monty just do it, you will not be disappointed. From start to finish the instructors are amazing. Even the grub served at lunchtime is fantastic. Spectators are well looked after and are able to get involved, so won’t get bored. Totally recommend it.

    The Full Monty - a fantastic day!
    Had a full monty day as a birthday present, and cannot recommend it highly enough. The team have set up a great range of activities that keep you entertained with clay shooting, archery and flintlock, survival (fire building), and armoury tour, as well as driving four different military vehicles. Even those there as spectators had a chance to get involved in some of the activities. The team really look after you throughout, and keep you well fed and watered throughout the day., with delicious food and snacks, and catered for different food needs. We had a dry day, but it was very muddy, so definitely take suitable boots/wellies.

This was the best day ever. I've been wanting to do this all my life. I've bored family, friends, even strangers telling them about the day.
I'm now known as commander Phillips

I can't fault anything. The whole day was amazing. It was so well organised, everyone involved was incredible. I can't praise the staff enough.
The food was great, lots of choice.
To spend such an brilliant day with my husband and two sons, was an added bonus.
A big thanks to everyone involved

We had the most amazing day at Tanks Alot. This was a 16th birthday present for my son who had so much fun. Even the spectators were able to join in with some activities. The archery and musket firing were a favourite of mine.

Freddie absolutely loved the armoury and the talk given in there was very good. I think we all could’ve spent the whole day in there learning about the different guns.

We were all allowed to ride on the Abbot while Freddie drove it round the track. We all want to go back again!

The staff are brilliant, friendly and very funny. The kids are still talking about how much Dan made them laugh.
