We are delighted to announce that this year’s Overlord Show will be supporting SSAFA (Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association) as its nominated charity.

SSAFA is a UK-based charity that has been providing vital support to members of the British Armed Forces and their families for over 130 years. They offer practical, emotional, and financial assistance to both serving personnel and veterans, regardless of rank, as well as their families and dependents.

Some of the key services provided by SSAFA include assistance for families facing financial hardship, support for those affected by physical or mental health issues, and help for individuals struggling with housing and accommodation problems. The charity also provides emotional and practical support for bereaved families and runs a range of programs aimed at helping veterans to reintegrate back into civilian life.

By supporting SSAFA at this year’s Overlord Show, attendees will be making a positive impact on the lives of those who have dedicated their lives to serving their country. The funds raised will help ensure that SSAFA can continue to provide critical support to those in need, both now and in the future.

The Overlord Show team are pleased to announce that in 2023 we are introducing advance tickets and multiday tickets.

We hope that with this new system we will reduce queuing times on the gate enabling you to enjoy your day more fully.

Advance tickets are valid on any day of the show, so you have flexibility on the day you attend, and for those wishing to attend the show on multiple days, we are also offering multi-day tickets at discounted rates over the single-day tickets for each ticket type with discounts reaching up to 30%.

Advance ticket prices have been held at the same price as gate tickets for 2022 (and 2021) and will offer a saving of £2 over gate tickets for single adult or single child tickets. All other ticket types (Concession, family, military and veterans) are the same price as advance tickets if purchased at the gate this year, though you can only purchase single-day tickets at the gate.

For ticket price information and to purchase advance tickets, you can visit the ticket page.

We use stripe payment processor and we do not store any of your card information. You will receive an email receipt, as well as a link to download your tickets. Keep your tickets safe, and do not share them. Tickets have limited number of uses.

As this purchasing system is new we appreciate your patience in the event there are teething problems. If for some reason you have difficulties, such as don’t think your payment went through, didn’t receive your tickets email, please just get in contact and we will be happy to look into the issue.

We hope to see you at the show this year!

The Overlord Show organising committee met this evening for its first planning meeting for the next show. We are diligently working through the responses from the various surveys that we held a couple of weeks ago. As always, there are many interesting ideas and suggestions which will try to put into place where possible. If you missed out on the survey, you can still give your feedback via our contact form.

The committee can also confirm that the 2022 show is expected to be held from Friday 3rd June to Sunday 5th June 2022. These dates coincide with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee central weekend, and as such we will be planning on hosting our own celebrations alongside our usual events. More information on this will be provided closer to the time.

We would like to invite everyone to put these dates on their calendars. For exhibitors, we are in the process of revising our application forms, we hope to have applications open as soon as this has been done, please give us a couple of weeks to do this.

With that, we hope to see you in 2022.

Overlord To Victory 29th - 31s May 2021

The Overlord Show team would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year.

2020 has been a tough year for all of us, but with a little bit of hope, 2021 will be brighter.

The purpose of this is to give a quick update on the status of the 2021 Overlord Show.

As you know, our 2020 show was cancelled due to the uncertainty surrounding the virus. This was a tough and risky decision but ultimately, this turned out to be the correct call and minimised our losses to only the rent of our field and some miscellaneous expenses. Covid-19 Coronavirus and its variants remains a threat, and we will be monitoring the situation closely, and evaluating the feasibility of the show in a COVID-secure fashion, however, as has been demonstrated, government guidelines are subject to changes at short notice.

The club committee met this week and we are targeting the Overlord Show 2021 to occur on 29th-31st May (same weekend as usual), with a backup date set for August 13th-15th. Please mark these dates in your calendar.

We have had several exhibitors asking about applications for 2021. For anyone who had planned to attend as an exhibitor in 2020, our current plan is to transfer 2020 applications to 2021. Exhibitors will be sent a confirmation of their previous application when this happens. We ask that exhibitors check the information and update it via the Exhibitors centre when this happens. If you’ve forgotten your password, you can reset it on the login page. If you have difficulty with this, please contact us via the contact form.

Simultaneously, the 2021 application form will go live for new exhibitors. Please note, that an application is not a commitment to attend but is required if you wish to attend the show, even-more so this year with the likely requirements of track and trace.

The applications system will be reenabled sometime in the next few weeks.

For now, if you have questions, please get in contact via the contact form on our website or social media if you have questions.

As always the team is grateful for your continued support of the show!

To All Members of the Public and Exhibitors,

In light of the current COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and keeping in line with the government’s latest guidelines, it is with regret the decision has been made to cancel our 2020 Overlord Show.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and understanding in these challenging times, and hope to see you at our next Overlord show in 2021.

For and on behalf of the Overlord Show team and Solent Overlord Executive Military Collectors Club.
