A very good experience, quite a lot of variety. From history, art and props, to vehicles and handling weapons, there's something for everyone.

Excellent little museum, with a real suprise exhibit all about Samuel Cody. There's something really special to find there that you might easily miss! Very interesting to discover how lawless the early army camp here was, and to follow the journey through to today. It's pretty small, bit if you read everything it will fill a couple of hours. Some really good vehicles in the barn, which is also an exhibit itself! Although they say they have a café, it's really just a coffee machine and packaged confectionery. If I would suggest any changes it would be to improve this. Wonderfully informative volunteers too.

Lots of history! Great staff! And you have the opportunity to even try on costumes and experience with the historical armoury free of charge! Unfortunately we were in a slight hurry as we were on a tight schedule but the staff a extremely welcoming and passionate to share the history. The tanks and trucks outside you can walk right up to and get some amazing photos that other museums would normally have roped off. I even got a photo with my little blue car  next to the monster size tank something I would be unlikely be able to do anywhere else. Great place for sure!!!!

Great laid out displays with lots of things to interact with around every corner. Visited today and really enjoyed getting to handle some of the guns I remember handling myself. At £9 per adult and your ticket lasts all year. There were some reenactors from the napoleonic era there when I was there but had a appointment elsewhere to attend so missed them. Kids there seemed to enjoy themselves greatly and they apparently had an assault course.

Fascinating displays and a great demonstration of the rifles! Defo recommend
