Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 06:03 · Archive
The Tank Museum in Bovington will host a Christmas market on 14-15 November, with Santa arriving in a tank.
The Tank Museum in Bovington will host a Christmas market on 14 and 15 November, with Santa making his entrance in a tank at the museum's Kuwait Arena rather than by sleigh. Visitors will have the chance to meet Santa and the elves and ask him questions.
The event will feature a craft market in partnership with Dorset Team, showcasing makers, artists, and small businesses selling crafts, art, toys and gifts. Festive food and drink will be available from the museum's restaurant, and live music will be provided by the Bournemouth and District Concert Band.
Elliot Wills, events operations manager at The Tank Museum, said: "The arrival of Santa on a tank may seem like an unusual idea; however, British tank regiments and their communities have had this tradition for around 100 years. It is important to us, as the regimental museum of the Royal Tank Regiment, to keep this Christmas tradition alive for the community." Advance online bookings receive a 20 per cent discount, and annual passes and memberships are valid for entry.
