Tank Driving Experience in Leicestershire

Welcome to an adrenaline-pumping adventure with our Tank Driving Taster in Leicestershire! This experience is your ticket to climb aboard and get hands-on with a genuine FV432 tank. Whether you’re a military enthusiast or just looking for a thrilling day out, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss.

Your adventure begins as you step into the tank, where you’ll enjoy two exhilarating laps behind the controls. Feel the raw power as you navigate the terrain, experiencing first-hand the weight and might of this impressive machine.
