What's on and event days August 2025
There's often something extra going on, whether it's a visiting car club or a full blown main event, you'll find out about it on this page.
Main Event Days:
Lots of classic bus rides and usually we have visiting vehicles and additional sales stands selling memorabilia, models and photographs.
On Main event days we run a free bus service to the museum from Birmingham Alexandra Theatre at 10.30 with a return trip late afternoon.
Special timetables are in operation and will be published a day or two before the event.​
Other Special Days:
These are days when we have a club visit or something else of extra interest. Bus and train services will be running as normal and the cafe and shop are open. Excellent family days out.
