The Home Of The Tank

The tank was a British invention that changed warfare for ever when it was introduced in World War One - and Bovington has been the home of the tank ever since.

 

From the Somme to Tiananmen Square or D-Day to Desert Storm the tank has played a part in shaping history - and it continues to do so today.

 

The Tank Museum is the only place where many of these rare and historic vehicles can be seen.

 

Fresh from a £16m investment in new exhibitions and facilities, with almost 200 vehicles on display in 6 large halls, you will come face-to-face with tanks that have seen action in all the major wars of the 20th century.

The Tank Museum offers guided tours for groups and workshops, educational activities and special rates for school visits.

Also there are a number of events run throughout the year.

Please note that each ticket price includes a Free Annual Pass which entitles you to re-entry as many times as you like - for a year!
