The main hanger is the only hanger, and it houses most of the star tanks in the collection, including the replica WW1 Mk 4 tank, Deborah II, built for Guy Martin’s documentary series on Channel 4 TV in 2017. In August the fields are used to demonstrate all their working vehicles and stage re-enactments during their 2-day ‘Armourfest’ – which is only a few weeks away! Norfolk Tank Museum – The main hanger If you sign up for their ‘Tank Experience’ you can race around the fields as commander of a Saladin armoured car and drive their Swedish Hagglunds BV 206 tracked all-terrain vehicle. There needs to be a guide – Health & Safety and all that – to ensure you don’t fall off or crack your head open on the gun breach, but if you want to see inside a tank, just ask.Īlso, in common with many tank museums, it has a couple of large fields in which the operational tanks can be demonstrated or ridden. Many tank museums have a general ‘keep off the tanks’ policy, but the Norfolk Tank Museum has a number of tanks that you (or your kids) are welcome to climb on and get inside. One way in which it is less formal than many tank museums, is access. That doesn’t matter because, while it might not be as big or formal as for example, the tank museums of Bovington or Saumur, it has some unique stuff and it’s fun. It is also a work in progress… or at least many of the tanks are. All the vehicles have great information attached and allow you to get a real feel of the vehicles and how they would perform! There are some incrediblely rare vehicles there too and I am very happy seeing them in such good condition and well looked after! It also has a very fun track ride which is very worth it aswell as the most immersive and best trench experiences i have been to! The staff are some of the friendliest and excited I have met, all ready to teach you more.The Norfolk Tank Museum is more like an enthusiastic private collection than a formal museum. read more The museum will be bigger than you think so don't worry about taking your time to go around it all, or even spend multiple days there.
