The Full Monty Tank Driving Day
About this experience

“'Full Mony' Tank Driving Experience”
Absolutely wonderful day, even if you're not a tank nerd like me. Friendly, good-humoured staff, decent catering, good instruction, help and encouragement, and a selection of awesome machinery to play with. I did find it a bit physical, though - I'm over 60 and a bit weedy. Shoulders were aching a bit the day after. Seemed a bit pricey beforehand but I don't regret it at all.
“The best experience day we’ve ever had!”
From the minute you arrive until the moment you leave you’ll have the time of your live…..from the owner to all of the instructors, they’re there to help you enjoy the experience…. And my word what an experience! I would highly recommend this to anyone that remotely considers driving a tank. The welcome is great, the food through the day is brilliant, and the way the team make you feel special, especially to my daughter, is to be commended. Highly recommended!!
