Rydabus – May 2026
Rydabus 2026 takes place over the weekend of 16th and 17th May 2026.
Further details will be posted as soon as possible and the Rydabus website.
How much are the tickets and where can we buy them?
The good news is that all classic buses running heritage services at Rydabus are free. Due to Ministry of Transport legislation, we cannot charge for travel, however we do encourage the sale of programmes as it is the principal method of funding the event. The programmes are available at the museum and online.
