It’s Dorset’s newest, and probably most unusual, wedding venue.

Couples can now walk down the aisle at The Tank Museum.

The county’s top tourist attraction has officially launched Tank Museum Weddings with the first booking already confirmed for September.

Rosanna Dean, Events Manager, said: “It might seem like a quirky place to get married, but we know there are lots of people looking for something a little different on their wedding day.

“Our unique surroundings have already attracted couples with a special connection to The Tank Museum, who want to celebrate their marriage with us.

“Some have links to the military, a keen interest in our subject and others have ties to the local area.

“The variety of settings and the expertise we have at the Museum mean we can offer a completely tailored experience for our couples.”

Whether it’s a 1940s rustic wedding with an intimate guestlist, or a classic contemporary white wedding design with up to 1,000 guests, The Tank Museum’s experienced events team says it can create a unique day.

Couples can even tie the knot in front of their favourite tank!

Guests to a wedding at The Tank Museum are also given the opportunity to explore the Museum itself.

Once married, The Tank Museum’s in-house catering team can provide a wedding breakfast for friends and family.

Finally, a photoshoot among the tanks will give a permanent reminder of a day with a real difference.

All profits from the weddings will go to support The Tank Museum charity, allowing a couple’s special day to help preserve history for generations to come.

Rosanna, pictured left, added: “We’ve had a number of requests for weddings over the years and we’re pleased to finally be able to offer people the chance to get married at The Tank Museum.”

Tank Museum Weddings is the latest addition to the Museum’s comprehensive venue hire offering.

Meetings, conferences and large-scale special events are regularly held at the Museum and overseen by the events team.
