Following a tough few years of lockdown, the hopes are that this summer’s shows will take place as normal. We look at a selection of the events scheduled for June
Overlord Show June 3-5.
The Overlord Show is the premier military event held on the south coast of England.
It has been running in various forms since the 1970s but was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic. The 2021 show went ahead, but with restrictions.
This year will be even more special as the show date coincides with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Around 300 exhibiting vehicles are expected to attend, including those which are part of the re-enactment groups, of which there are usually 40.
These cover all periods of military history from the 1900s to the present day.
