Bovington: Tank museum robot wars & (Dr Who) daleks event - Sat 7th & Sun 8th Feb
Visitors can meet and greet the infamous Daleks during Q&A sessions on both days of the show. Plus, there’s a build-your-own fighting robot workshop, delivered by Team Roaming Robots, the creators of ‘Ripper’ from the hit tv show ‘Robot Wars’. What’s more, visitors can meet some of the robots from the popular show!
Guests can also get hands-on with a model making session provided by Models for Heroes, who support veterans through the therapeutic benefits of the hobby.
Alongside a huge collection of models, for just £3, visitors can enter the modelling competition to be in with a chance of winning some amazing prizes. Best in show wins a ride in a tank, and winners of adult and junior categories will receive tickets to TANKFEST 2026, worth £79.90. Entries close at midnight on Wednesday 4 February, and judging will take place at the South West Model Show on Sunday 8 February.
With hands-on activities, demonstrations, and plenty to see and do, this event is perfect for both modelling enthusiasts and families.
