  • A Night at the Tank Museum

What’s included?

👣 Live History Trail – Explore the museum like never before, guided by characters from the past. Meet soldiers, wardens, and civilians who will share their stories and challenge you with tasks along the way.

🍽 WWII Themed Meals – Enjoy a WWII themed dinner and breakfast, with hot and cold drinks included.

🎥 Tank Movie Screenings – Settle in and enjoy wartime films in a WWII themed Briefing room.

🔦 Trenches After Dark Tour – Brave the eerie night-time trenches on a guided tour packed with atmosphere and history.

🎲 Board Game Corner – Test your tactics and teamwork with a variety of classic and modern board games amongst the tanks.

🍿 Midnight Snack Care Package – Refuel late at night with a themed snack tin to keep you going.

Make sure you bring a sleeping bag, roll mat, pillows, toothbrush/toothpaste and some clothes to sleep in. The Museum will not be providing any bedding. To keep luggage to a minimum, we recommend arriving in the clothes you’ll sleep in.

For health and safety reasons you must wear shoes at all times inside the Museum, apart from when you’re sleeping. The clothes you’ll sleep in need to be suitable and warm enough to stand outside in during an emergency evacuation.

We recommend you also bring a water bottle, pillow, and an eye mask to sleep in, as some lights will remain on throughout the night.

For health and safety reasons, inflatable mats or mattresses more than five centimetres thick are not allowed.

We recommend you don’t bring any items of financial or sentimental value, as we can’t take any responsibility if these get lost, stolen or damaged.

You won’t be able to plug in any electrical items during the event, so we recommend you bring a portable charger with you.
