Play Base highlights
Command liaison vehicle
Cookhouse
Quartermaster store
Assault course
Physical challenge is a key aspect of soldiering. Overcoming obstacles requires both individual fitness and teamwork. Come and have a go on our soft play assault course if you think you’ve got what it takes!
Command liaison vehicle
The Army teaches soldiers to lead as well as to follow. Climb aboard our command liaison vehicle to explore themes of communications and mobility, driving and mechanical repair.
Cookhouse
An army marches on its stomach. Make sure the troops are full of beans in our Camp Kitchen and Mess Hall.
Quartermaster store
Where do soldiers get kitted out? How do they buy provisions and receive messages from home? Get to grips with all these questions at our army storeroom.
In the field
Soldiers need to be able to look after themselves wherever they are. Develop your fieldcraft skills - building camps, dens and shelters - to survive the wild.
