The Overlord Show 2026: Excitement as annual military spectacular to take place in Denmead this bank holiday weekend
Military show returns to Hampshire village
A popular military show is taking place in a Hampshire village over the bank holiday weekend with over 300 classic vehicles on show.
The Overlord Show has been a fixture in the county for over 50 years as military enthusiasts, history buffs and families flock to Denmead for three days of entertainment from Saturday, May 23 to Monday, May 25.
