TANKFEST Online will feature the famous Tank Arena show, historical content, tank demonstrations and a fundraiser to support The Tank Museum, which has been closed to the public since March due to Covid-19.

The weekend, 26-28 June, should have seen the 20^th Anniversary TANKFEST event at The Tank Museum, Bovington, which was expected to attract around 25,000 visitors.

However, it was postponed due to the Covid-19 restrictions. TANKFEST is the biggest fundraising event of the year for The Tank Museum charity and TANKFEST Online is one of the many ways The Tank Museum has worked to innovate during lockdown, to secure a revenue stream for the Museum.
