I'm after a bit of assistance - we are looking for something unusual for a kids day in July in Wellingborough.

The past two years for this event we've had the police and fire service supply vehicles and staff, the children love them.
We've not asked the fire brigade this year as it's pretty difficult to guarantee vehicles or staff will be be available due to being called out.

Instead we thought perhaps an old military vehicle might go down well with the kids. smile

Does anyone have anything / know a company locally that could help?

We aren't expecting this for free, but we'd rather not spend too much if possible...



Thanks

Try these guys. Their members have quite a few old commercial and military vehicles.

It's their big annual event this coming weekend, so you could make contact and see what they have to offer.

I have no connection with them myself.
