SEE SECOND WORLD WAR TANKS IN ACTION!

Book your tickets now for Tiger Day at The Tank Museum on 20 September 2025 to see the world’s only running Tiger I tank amongst a line-up of  WWII veteran vehicles taking part in impressive arena displays.

The Tank Museum’s Tiger Day is dedicated to the infamous Tiger 131 tank – a truly unique vehicle. It was the first Tiger I to be captured by the Western Allies in WWII and is the only surviving example that you can see in action. 

To conserve this historic tank for generations to come, it can only be seen in action twice a year at Tiger Day in April and September. This sell-out event, which attracts 4,500 people from around the world, features a mock-battle of the Tiger’s capture, as well as other historic vehicle displays, living history, talks, and much more. 

The show will include the Sherman ‘Fury’, star of the Brad Pitt film, plus plenty of other allied tanks of WWII, including Comet, Matilda II, Churchill Mk III, and an M3 Grant recently acquired by the Bannister Historic Armour Collection.

Rich Dando, Social Media and Content Executive at The Tank Museum, said: “This exciting opportunity to see the world’s only running Tiger I in the arena – alongside a host of other rare vehicles in action-packed shows – draws visitors from around the world to the heart of Dorset.

“There’s nothing like the roar of the engines, explosive pyrotechnics, and expert commentary – whether you’re a seasoned tank fan or a first-time visitor, there’s plenty for all to enjoy!”

As well as seeing tanks in action on Tiger Day, visitors will be able to explore the interactive exhibitions of The Tank Museum, which bring the story of tanks and tank crews to life.

Booking in advance is strongly recommended as Tiger Day is a sell-out event. Find out more on The Tank Museum’s website: https://tankmuseum.org/events/tiger-day-autumn
