PLEASE NOTE

The Capel Military Show is an event that has exhibits of all nationalities and eras of military history, including uniforms, equipment and symbols from wartime periods on display.

We believe that it is important to learn from past conflicts and not sanitise history by excluding all unsavoury elements, but to portray them as accurately as possible whilst acknowledging their harmful impact and sparking conversation so that we learn from it and create a better future together. 

We recommend that any persons likely to be upset or offended by such historical accuracy do not enter this wartime themed event.

The Capel Military Show is strictly non-political, it does not support, condone or encourage politics, violence, extremism, racism, historical revisionism or the glorification of war in any form.

Thank you.
