Overlord 2012
The 2012 show will be taking place over the now extended
Spring Bank Holiday weekend, 1st to 4th June 2012.
The show will continue to retain its 4 day format Friday through to Monday,
with over 350 vehicles, 100 trade stalls, 500 re-enactors and an extended
living history field. In addition the daily battle between opposing army
groups is not to be missed, watch out however for the loud explosions
and gunfire as they can easily intimidate young children. Sunday the 3rd
June is our nostalgia day where all re-enactors and visitors are encouraged
to dress in 40’s attire
Car parking is free, and food stalls, close to the beer marquee offer various snacks Entry tickets can only be purchased at the gate, and public camping is available at an additional charge
Exhibitor Information Show dates 1-5 th June
The extra bank holiday of the extended weekend on Tuesday 5th ( for the Queen’s Jubilee) allows us to keep the showground open for exhibitors and re-enactors only. Although not a public open day this extra day allows you to relax and chill out with old friends, so there is no need to rush off early.
For those who are in the area with their vehicles having possibly attended
shows the previous weekend, on site vehicle parking/storage will be made
available to vehicle exhibitors from midday on Monday 28th May. Space
will be allocated alongside the organisers tents near the arena, although
parking will be at your own risk.
Likewise those vehicle owners intending to travel on over to Normandy
are welcome to extend their stay by a few days after the show until the
7th June
Availability of the extended stop over periods may be limited, so please book early. Vehicle application forms are available to download .
We all look forward to seeing you at Overlord 2012.
