Arena Events
Your participation in the Arena demonstrations is a valuable addition to the Show and we hope that you will take part. However, it is subject to the show schedule, good weather and ground conditions on the day and therefore may be cancelled at short notice.

If participating in the vehicle parades, please make sure you are with your vehicle at least 15 minutes beforehand.
No entry to the arena area will be permitted to search/look for ammunition spent or live.
The public are not permitted to enter the arena.
Any unauthorised persons in the arena will be asked to leave the show.

You will NOT be permitted to leave site on Sunday until 17:00 unless prior arranged with the organisers. You will also NOT be permitted to bring your modern vehicle onto the site until 18:00 on Friday or Saturday. This is purely a health and safety issue as we cannot marshal additional vehicle movement whilst the show is in progress and public are there.

Finally, abuse and threatening behaviour towards ANY member of the team WILL NOT be tolerated. You will be removed from the site and receive a permanent ban from the show.
