Armour & Embarkation 2026
Exciting news for the Summer!
It may seem a while away but, this important event which is spectacular to say the least, commemorates the build up of hardware in Dorset towards the end of WW2 leading to the D Day landings.
Dorset was a key staging point and we owe so much to all those who played a part in this chapter in our history.
The sights sounds and smells of the convoy coming once more, into the heart of town will be unmissable and incredible. Make sure, if you are curious, to put the 20th June in your diaries!
We will be coming into Dorchester at just after 3pm on Saturday 20th June. We will be parked up on Weymouth Ave – next to Brewery Square for two hours. We blow the whistle at 5:20 pm ready to leave.
You can walk among the vehicles, talk with owners and crew and ask as many questions as you would like – they are very happy to take all your questions.
Get there early as it is estimated that in 2024, 12000-15000 people came out to see the spectacle. Hit the shops and support the local businesses and community.
That is very important to us!
