Visit Castletown D-Day Centre on the first weekend of August for a celebration of WWII military vehicles. We will be gathering together unusual vehicles used in the Second World War, including the amphibious DUKW, M3 half-track, M8 Scout Car, Jeeps and more!

Get up close and personal with these genuine wartime artefacts. Climb in the vehicles, see them driving, and handle authentic weapons!

We will also have talks on the vehicles and other military vehicle themed displays such as RC tanks.
