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".
