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.

The brand new Royal Logistic Corps (RLC) Museum at Worthy Down near Winchester, is holding a First World War living history event from 12 to 14 August 2021.
Interaction with horses, and soldiers in WW1 uniform, plus a display of original WW1 horse drawn wagons, harness, wheelwright equipment, WW1 weapons and tents, will make the event a fun and educational summer holiday day out, for all the family.
Visitors will be able to see a selection of magnificent First World War horse drawn vehicles, including GS (general service) Wagons, Mark I and Mark II Horse Ambulances, a limbered wagon, a water cart and an officer’s mess cart.
Interaction with a picket line of horses and soldiers dressed in First World War uniforms will be the highlight of the three-day event. There will also be horse harness, wheelwright equipment, First World War weapons and bell tents on display.
Fun activities for children, including medal making, will also be available throughout the event, which runs from 9:30 to 16:00 on all three days.
If visitors are feeling peckish and fancy snack ‘cooked in the field’; Army Catering Corps veterans and Friends of the Museum, will be selling delicious bacon and sausage buns, cooked on an authentic Soyer Stove. The stove was designed by the famous chef Alexis Soyer during the Crimean War and went on to feed the British Army into the 1980s.
Entry to the event and museum is free. The museum offers free parking, baby changing facilities, toilet facilities, is wheelchair friendly, has a café selling Starbucks coffee (Mon – Fri: 7:30 – 14:30) and secure lockers.
Location: The RLC Museum is located outside the main gate of the Defence College of Logistics Policing and Administration, Worthy Down, Winchester, Hampshire. Postcode: SO21 2RG.
This new Multi-Period event is gearing up to be very different from most, as the team putting the show together is involved in the historical and event space.
Ubique is planning a number of displays and we look forward to meeting up with you at the show!
