Knights to blue lights...

​

Ever wondered what kind of vehicles armoured police use? Or how nature has its own incredible armour?

Now’s your chance to dive into the fascinating history of policing—from medieval knights to today’s modern police forces. Discover the science behind armour, get up close to armoured vehicles from different eras, and explore the technology, purpose, and history behind them.

​

Step into the world of nature’s toughest creatures in our special display on natural armour. See how animals have evolved their own protective gear, showcasing some of the most impressive defences in the wild.

 

NEW FOR 2025! Witness history in action with thrilling live demonstrations of how early crimes were stopped, as our display team brings the past to life with dramatic performances throughout the event.

​

Get hands-on with history! Come face to face with medieval arms and armour, and explore historic policing equipment, including real prison swords and Victorian police gear. Plus, South Yorkshire Police (subject to operational duties) will be joining us, giving visitors an exclusive look at the technology and training that keeps us safe today.
