DATR OPEN DAY 2025!!!! FREE ENTRY!
Saturday, 28th Jun 2025: 1030am to 4.30pm.
This event is held every other year & it is always a very popular event! The official Poster & some more details follow:
The DATR Open Day is suitable for individuals, couples, groups of friends & families with children. With a forecast of 50 stalls of interest & vendors, there will be lots to see & do!
Note: Pets cannot be brought to this Open Day event due to the presence of Military Working Animals on display & being used in demonstrations.
Military Demonstrations will take place all day in the main arena! Lots of Military Working Animals (Dogs / Horses) & Mascots (a wide variety of animal types) will be available to meet or see! We also listened to our 2023 feedback & have planned more food / drinks vendors due to the last event's high footfall!
Main arena events start at 1030am, but carparks & walk-ins are open from 10am onwards. Other facilities such as interest stalls & food / drinks vendors will begin to open from 10am, enabling you to explore & refresh before the demonstrations begin. Main arena demonstrations finish at 4.30pm. At this time, the Open Day will close. You are not constrained by the opening time/s listed & may arrive at any time before 4.30pm!
There will be lots of other places on site to explore, such as Military Working Animal Rehoming, Veterinary, Military Mascot Animals & Farriery displays. The event will also feature a flypast by a historic Battle of Britain Memorial Flight plane. This is forecast for mid-afternoon, but the historical plane featured & an exact time will be confirmed during the event (due to on-the-day plane choice availability & flight-path approvals that are out of our control). A Military band from the Royal Military School of Music have been booked & will play on-the-march in the arena.
More details will be published on our social media channels (Facebook, Instagram & Twitter-X) at a later date, so please hit that 'Like', 'Follow' & 'SHARE' button!
