Why Families Keep Coming Back to Monsterslam

Some people think monster trucks are just about loud engines and big stunts. But Monsterslam is more than that. It’s a full day out, a great atmosphere, and a chance to make family memories together, and that's why families keep coming back to Monsterslam in Birchington, near Manston. See the action here!

Other events might try to match the excitement, but MonsterSlam is different. It’s a real local event, made by local organisers for families who come back year after year because they know it’s one of a kind.

Over the years, all sorts of motor events have popped up offering a taste of monster truck action. A truck here, a few laps there, and then it’s over. MonsterSlam was built to offer something more.

After six monster truck events at Quex Park, we understand what our fans are looking for. They want big shows, lots of variety, and real, high-energy entertainment. That’s why we’ve built our show around what we call our Triple Truck Takeover.

Rather than just one truck in the spotlight, our arena features the power, noise, and personality of Big Pete, Grim Reaper, and Swamp Thing. Each one brings its own style, stunts, and amazing action. There’s always something going on, from huge jumps and crushing finales to crowd-pleasing moments that get everyone cheering.

This isn’t a brief appearance or a side attraction. This is a real monster truck show!

But the excitement doesn’t stop with the trucks.

Monsterslam also brings the sky-high action of the Bolddog Lings Freestyle Motocross Team. These riders launch themselves off massive ramps, throwing out backflips, superman tricks and mid-air stunts that leave the crowd staring straight up in disbelief. It’s fast, fearless, and packed with energy.

Families also love watching the Tigers Children’s Motorcycle Display Team, where young riders aged just 5 to 16 perform synchronised routines, jumps and precision stunts. Their confidence, skill and teamwork make them one of the most talked-about parts of the show.

For those who want to feel what a monster truck is really like, the Monster Truck Rides are always a highlight. Sitting high above the ground, feeling the engine rumble and hearing the roar up close is an experience that both kids and adults never forget.

Younger visitors will love meeting Big Pete Dinosaur and Lightning McQueen, posing for photos and enjoying moments they’ll remember long after the day is over. It’s these little touches that turn a show into a full family experience.

The excitement doesn’t stop in the arena either. Around the event space, there are fairground rides, inflatables, food stalls, shopping and entertainment to enjoy at your own pace.

For kids who dream of being behind the wheel, the Mini Monster Trucks, based on the real machines from the show, give them the chance to feel part of the action in a safe, fun way. It’s something you won’t find anywhere else in Kent.

One of the things people love most about MonsterSlam is the setting. Quex Park is a beautiful place to spend the day, and being so close to the coast means families can enjoy the fresh sea air, visit nearby beaches, or explore the local towns before or after the show. With both morning and afternoon performances, it’s easy to plan a day that fits your family's schedule.

From the first engine roar to the final crush, MonsterSlam is about delivering proper monster truck action, real entertainment, and a day that feels special from start to finish.

Don’t just watch, be part of the excitement. Buy your tickets to MonsterSlam at Quex Park now and make memories your family will talk about all year.
