Juniper Leisure, Tank Driving - Winchester

Andrew

This was bought as a present for my partner's birthday and we both had a great time.

Very well organised with hot food and drinks, refreshments and lovely cake. Didn't once feel rushed along. All staff were very friendly and approachable and the instructors put her at ease when it was her turn in the hot seat!

4 tanks were available to drive and the highlight was the Chieftain MBT!

£15 per spectator which I felt was fair and managed to get 3 rides on the tanks myself!

Thoroughly recommend!

Juniper Leasure is a great experience, well run, all the staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. It is a very relaxed experience. They have a variety of armoured vehicles to drive and also offer rides for people who are just spectating. The complementary drinks are free following with the added extra of biscuits and delightful home made cake. Bacon butties are also available which are not expensive and well worth a try. All In all a great morning or afternoon.

Excellent Tank Driving experience.
Close to M3 Winchester Junction. Good reception and safety briefing. Drove, a Chieftain Main Battle Tank, an Armoured Personnel Carrier, a Stormer Missile Carrier. Would have normally driven a Self Propelled Howitzer but it was faulty, so it was substituted with a military off road lorry for a bit of fun.
Each vehicle had an instructor on board, - who were knowledgeable and helped get the most out of the experience. - Thanks!
There's a field café serving complimentary coffee, tea and cake and if you want something more substantial there's bacon rolls etc for sale.
You can take some spectators - just let them know if you're taking a crowd! They only pay £15 each and they get a ride on the back of two of the tanks. Cracking!
Take change of clothes, - it gets pretty dirty.
All in all, the driving experience was absolutely brilliant, and my support team had a great time too. Well worth the money!

A tank driving experience was bought for my 50th birthday. I had a really enjoyable, fun morning driving a variety of tracked vehicles. From a chieftain battle tank, through to a stormer air defence platform. The team at Juniper were great, so enthusiastic with a great team feel, from the canteen to the folks leading the activities. A call out to Kev who really added to the day as he was involved in the development of the stormer, which is still used today seeing action in Ukraine. His added insight was fascinating. A pleasant surprise was the activities for those not driving, my partner could ride on the chieftain as I drove, as well as an optional ride in a personnel carrier around the course, giving a great feel of what I had been experiencing.

There were 4 different tanks for the driver to drive. You can take as many spectators as like, and they also get to ride on a couple of tanks. Refreshments are served, hot drinks, cold drinks, cakes and biscuits are complementary, they also serve rolls etc.

Absolutely fantastic day, I can’t recommend Juniper highly enough. The staff were very helpful & friendly and the instructors were amazing. With complimentary beverages and homemade cakes all day what’s not to like. If you fancy driving a tank give it a go, you won’t be disappointed.
