Wexford gets ready for the annual military showcase

- By BRENDAN KEANE

THIS YEAR’S Wexford Military Show will take place at Wexford Racecourse over the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, June 2 and 3.

The organisers have said there will be a lot of new attraction­s in place this year in addition to the usual great mix of live and static displays.

There will also be a wide range of model and memorabili­a traders on-site throughout the weekend.

Hobby Airsoft will be in attendance, having proved very popular last year, and a wide programme of events and activities are planned to keep younger members of the family entertaine­d.

A spokespers­on for the organisers commented there will be ‘a great range of merchandis­e and special offers’ available specifical­ly for the show.

‘This is going to be the best year yet for Ireland’s biggest and best multi-period show,’ she said.

‘We will have something for everyone,’ she added.

For historians and MPV enthusiast­s the show is a must in terms of the range of vehicles that will be on display. From tanks and armoured cars to motorbikes and axled rocket-launchers the machinery on view each year is fantastic. They always draw a lot of attention and this year there will also be a lot of rare WWII American and German vehicles on-site.

The show will run from 11.30 am to 5.50 pm each day and more details can be accessed through the event’s Facebook page.
