Thank you for visiting our website!

Dewsbury Bus Museum is a dedicated group of volunteers whose aim is to preserve the transport heritage of the West Riding and the surrounding areas. Up to thirteen of our buses can be stored in our building in Ravensthorpe, near Dewsbury, while others are stored elsewhere. Some of our buses are owned by the groups, others by individual members.

We are a registered charity (No. 702232) and virtually all of our income is derived from members' subscriptions, the proceeds of events and book sales and rental of space to members to store their own vehicles.

We hold three events each year (March, August and November), details of which are on the EVENTS page of this website, and we take our buses to outside events organised by other enthusiast groups. If you wish to bring a group for a private visit at other times, please contact us.

PLEASE NOTE - we have no connection with a "not for profit" organisation called "The West Riding Bus Group".

CAN I BRING MY STALL?
All our regular traders should have already received a booking form but if you are new to our events please contact Mark Byard on 07956 579684 or mark.byard@live.co.uk for more information about how to book your stall in.
Please note that we are usually over-subscribed with traders so early booking is essential.

Yes please! If you want to be a static exhibit, or to run in service, please contact Andrew Beever on either 01924 265528 or at beever260@btinternet.com for more information.

CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE MY DISABILITY?
The Museum building is on one level, with level entry from the street. We are sorry, but due to their age and design our buses cannot carry wheelchairs or buggies unless they can be folded flat, and all our buses have step-entrances. If you have any specific needs, please contact us in advance (details below) and we will do everything we can to assist you.

ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS OR EVENT IN OUR PROGRAMME!
