Army Expo unveils decade's transformation priorities through open-theatre storytelling

The British Army Expo London 2023 is taking place at Wellington Barracks in London – unveiling the future of the British Army.

The central London barracks has been transformed into an open-air theatre teaching the audiences about what the British Army does.

The Army Expo, akin to a three-act play, aims to engage the audience through immersive storytelling by a cast of serving soldiers and officers, unveiling the Army's purpose, plans, and transformation priorities for the next decade.
