Mark your calendars for the REME Museum Extravaganza, in celebration of Armed Forces Day 2026!
This fun-filled open day is a celebration of everything that it means to be part of the REME Family. The event takes place throughout the entire museum grounds, including the galleries, Education Suite, outdoor spaces and gardens and of course Crown’s Café!

Expect even bigger and better things this year, as we combine a Summer Fete with Armed Forces Day, for an exciting day out for all the family with loads to get involved in! We’ll be releasing more details as we get closer to the event but for now you can expect:
• Summer Fete style games like hook-a-duck, basketball throw, mini golf and more
• Inflatable games, including fan favourite axe-throwing
• Displays, exhibitions and equipment from REME’s local units including 8 Training Battalion REME and the School of Army Aeronautical Engineering (SAAE) Lyneham
• Historic recovery vehicles from the museum’s collection
• Stalls from local businesses and charities
• REME Charity prize raffle
Please note: Many displays and equipment are provided by active REME units and are subject to operational requirements. As such, there may be changes with minimal notice. We aim to update visitors of any major changes in advance on the REME Museum website.

Crown’s Café will be open to visitors with a ticket to the event, offering a limited lunchtime menu, plus tea, coffee and cake of course! Additional catering vans will also be on-site offering food to purchase throughout the weekend.
Free parking will be available in the museum’s large car park, visitors are asked to please reserve a parking space if you need one in advance. Blue Badge spaces are available on a first-come-first-served basis and you must have reserved a parking space online. If you can, please consider travelling by alternative means.
Dogs are welcome on the museum grounds but are not allowed inside the building, with the exception of assistance dogs.

General entry fees apply for this event, including discounts, Gold Cards and Annual Passes. That means you get all these extra activities for the price you’d normally pay just to enter the galleries!
