Paddock Wood: War and Peace Revival show returns to the Hop Farm with military vehicles and living history

Get ready for a roar as the largest gathering of military vehicles in the world rumbles in.

The five-day War and Peace Revival will see thousands of vehicles from around the world head for Kent, as it moves to a new venue at the Hop Farm Family Park this year, from Folkestone Racecourse.

There will be a packed programme of living history displays, from GIs in Vietnam to Russians relaxing after battle and Germans plotting their next move.

Dedicated enthusiasts will be dusting off their uniforms to recreate scenes from the last 70 years of warfare.

But it’s not just the frontline that’s on show – families left back home also feature, with a dedicated area for all things on the Home Front.
