📅 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲: Saturday 12th September 2026
🕙 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲: 10am – 3pm
📍 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Market Square, Daventry, NN11 4BH
💷 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆: Free rides for all the family! Souvenir programmes will also be on sale, with proceeds going to NTH to support the upkeep of these amazing vehicles.
🅿️ 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: Free car parks are available around the town (please check signage for any restrictions).

🚍 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁
A variety of classic and heritage vehicles will be running FREE bus services to nearby villages and back to the town centre. You can take as many rides as you like! ⚠️ 𝑃𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑡𝑒:
Most buses are historic vehicles, so unfortunately wheelchairs, buggies, or prams cannot be carried.
Many buses have steps at the entrance, so please bear this in mind before boarding.

📖 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲𝘀
Programmes can be purchased on the day from the NTH stall near the Burton Memorial (top of the High Street). Buying one helps support the upkeep of the buses, though they are not required to travel and do not give travel priority.

💙 𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
NTH delighted to offer four dedicated journeys for those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) at:

10:30am
11:30am
2:30pm
3:30pm

These shorter, quieter routes will have a more relaxed onboard atmosphere. Attendees with SEND are, of course, welcome on all journeys throughout the day. Volunteers will be on hand to assist with boarding or to advise on suitable routes.
👉 𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡: Seats for SEND sessions are first come, first served. Please collect a free ticket from the information point near the Burton Memorial.

🐶 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼
Only assistance dogs are allowed on board.
While every effort will be made to keep to the timetable, these are heritage vehicles and occasional delays or cancellations may occur. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

⚠️ 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗿: Travel is at your own risk. NTH and event organisers accept no responsibility for loss, damage, or injury.
