Displays at the second annual Menangle Military Muster on July 15 and 16 will cover everything from medieval times to the present day.

The second annual Menangle Military Muster next month will showcase all things military, from medieval archers to World War II vehicles.

The two day event will feature battle re-enactments, train and wagon rides, food stalls and a huge historical military display.

Military clubs and societies from throughout NSW will gather at the Campbelltown Steam and Machinery Museum at Menangle Park for the Muster on the weekend of July 15-16.

The event, which will run from 9am to 3.30pm each day, is the only event of its kind in NSW.

The first ever Military Muster was held in July last year.

It attracted families, car enthusiasts, history fanatics and people of all ages from the Macarthur region and further afield.

A host of historic military vehicles will again be displayed in 2017, including jeeps, motorbikes, trucks, tanks and helicopters.

As the event includes military history of all eras, displays will cover everything from medieval times to the present day.

Fittingly, the Menangle Military Muster is a fundraiser for Legacy, a charity dedicated to help the families of those who gave their lives in military service.

Train and wagon rides will be available by gold coin donation and there will also be food stalls and free barbecue facilities.

Public entry is $7 per adult and a gold coin donation for children under 12 years of age.
