Isle of Wight Bus and Coach museum running days

The Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum is home to a unique collection of vintage vehicles, showcasing the Island’s transport heritage over the past century.

Housed in a former grain storage warehouse, on Newport Quay, the collection ranges from a 1889 tram car and a 1927 Daimler, to more recent vehicles. But being a working museum, many restored vehicles are put back in action on special occasions such as bus rallies, carnival events and special running days.
