The only place in the world where you can drive a battle tank and fire on experience real tank paintball battles!

My experience, Explo description:

Armourgeddon are equipped with 15 FV432s battle tanks fitted with Turrets and our 40mm paintball cannons.

Just for information, the FV432 is the armoured personnel carrier variant of the British Army's FV430 series of armoured fighting vehicles (16 tons). Since its introduction in the 1960s it has been the most common variant, being used for transporting infantry on the battlefield. In the 1980s, almost 2,500 vehicles were in use, with around 1,500 now remaining in operation - mostly in supporting arms rather than front-line infantry service.

For sure, you should drive a battle tank and take part to a battle! As a driver, I had a really great experience, feeling the power and the agility of these small battletanks. Unfortunately, I think that the paintball cannons are not so powerful, and hard to target others tanks! Any way, was a great fun.

Each tank as a crew from 2 to 3 person, + an instructor of the British army.

These is also a little tank museum, where you can admire a Centurion heavy battle tank + various equipments from WW2 and even the former Soviet Union.

You can also pratice other activities, such as Quad Assaults and simple paintball.

My personal recommendations:

As you can guess, prices for a session are quite expensive. Try to go there with some of your friends to divide the price! Call in advance and try to bargain!

How getting there:

On the A5199, 1 mile north of Husbands Bosworth. Leave M1 at Junction 20, take the A4304 to Husbands Bosworth, followed by the A5199 to Leicester. After approximately 1 mile, turn right!

A tip to eat:
