This page lists events, rallies, museum open days and running days of interest to the classic bus enthusiast, although I don't always record auctions and sales etc. Please let me know if you have any new entries or corrections. Details of events for 2024 will be published as they are received. Look for the *NEW* symbol for the latest additions. The county or district is shown at the end of each entry, by request of some visitors who find it easier to scan the list and see immediately what's happening in their particular area.

Please note that I cannot guarantee that any event listed below will actually take place - merely that it was intended to. I also don't guarantee the accuracy of the information, but I do my best....

Please send details of any suitable event that you know about, and I will list it. Please include a postcode if possible (for static events). Photos and/or reports of events would be welcome to add to our rally reports pages.

The livery on this page is a tribute to Surrey Motors. Aaaah - sadly missed.....
