First of many at new Dorset wedding venue

couple saying their vows in front of a WW1 tank

The Tank Museum in Bovington, Dorset hosted its first ever wedding last year.

Rachel and Daniel Titley said 'I do' at the museum in front of a Second World War tank, earning themselves a place in the venue's history book. Their son Adam played an important role and was able to pick his favourite tank for them to say their vows in front of.

"When we heard couples could get married at The Tank Museum, knowing how much Adam loves it there, made the choice simple for us," says Rachel.
"The team was amazing and we couldn't have asked for more! Being able to include our son in the decision-making process and allowing him to plan everything was hugely important. Adam absolutely loves The Tank Museum, it's his favourite place. Now every time we come back to visit, we'll have a shared special memory as a family as well."

Bookings are already being taken for 2022. Events Manager Rosanna Dean adds, "Having our in-house catering team means wedding guests can enjoy everything from afternoon tea to a sumptuous wedding breakfast.

"The venue can cater for weddings of all sizes with up to as many as 1,000 guests, what's more all profits go to help support the museum charity and preserve history for generations to come.
