Tank driving in itself is good fun, but with this experience you'll actually take part in a tank battle kicking off in the heart of Leicestershire - too much fun!
That’s right, this tank battle experience uses 17 tonne FV432 armoured personnel carriers to battle against one another. With specially modified cannons capable of firing 40mm paint rounds you'll be testing your driving and shooting skills to the max.
Take it in turns as part of a three-man crew to negotiate a tricky tank course set in a world war II bombing range. Under the guidance of your on-board instructor you will get the opportunity to drive the tank, aim the cannon, load the breach and fire the 40mm air powered cannon. Once you are able to successfully operate the tank the hatches are closed you can engage in full on armoured warfare against an opposing team using your periscopes to guide you. Just one gift idea from over 1000
gift ideas brought to you by IntotheBlue.
Tank battle experiences last approximately two hours. You will rotate tasks as part of a crew of three with an on-board instructor. You will be issued with radio headsets, Kevlar helmets and tank suits. You will get the chance to drive the tank, aim the turret and fire the cannon at the opposing team.

Tank battles take place from April to October. Activities operate on most weekends and selected weekdays including evenings during summer months. For tank battle activity, if participating numbers are not large enough to crew 2 tanks individual tanks will fire at targets instead. If group size is over 15, please call us for details.
