MORE than 400 historic military vehicles will take centre stage at Yorkshire Wartime 2026.
The event will be held in Doncaster from August 7 to 9 at Willows Farm in Kirkhouse Green and will feature vehicles, living history displays, parades, re-enactments, 1940s entertainment, trade stalls, and children's activities.
The Military Vehicle Trust (MVT), the world’s largest organisation of ex-military vehicle owners and enthusiasts, is sponsoring this year’s event and supporting the appearance of the Sexton self-propelled artillery vehicle.
Boyan Holmes, membership secretary and area liaison officer for the MVT, said: "Yorkshire Wartime is a brilliant way to see these remarkable vehicles up close and meet the people who keep them running.
"By sponsoring the Sexton and bringing our publicity trailer, we hope to inspire more people to get involved—whether they own a vehicle or simply share our passion for preserving mechanical history."
Battle re-enactments and arena displays will take place on the Saturday and Sunday, while the Friday will offer a quieter show day without those elements.
Founded in 1968, the MVT has more than 30 UK area groups dedicated to preserving military vehicles and supporting education, events and commemorations.
