Our wartime re-enactors transform the museum with the sights, sounds and smells of a wartime village ‘somewhere in England’ as D-Day approaches and the troops prepare for the impending invasion. Come along and experience 1940s life. Visit website for more details and advance booking.
The Overlord Show is the south coast’s premier military spectacular
Proudly organised by Solent Overlord Executive Military Collectors Club in support of military charities!
With hundreds of military vehicles and reenactors from the Great War all the way through to modern day, accompanied by militaria traders from all over the country, it is a great day out for vehicle enthusiasts and history buffs alike. A great selection of food stands and our onsite beer tent mean you can easily spend the whole day to enjoy the hopefully sunny weather, arena events and professionally re-enacted battles.
The committee can also confirm that the 2022 show is expected to be held from Friday 3rd June to Sunday 5th June 2022. These dates coincide with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee central weekend, and as such we will be planning on hosting our own celebrations alongside our usual events. More information on this will be provided closer to the time.
