Our 2016 Events

Car Running Day at the Museum - Bank Holiday Monday 29 August

An informal event offering a chance to take a ride in some of our vintage and classic cars. This event began in 2013, and has now become an annual event.

Visiting classic cars are welcome.

Open Day at the Museum - Sunday 6 November

Our long established Open Days, on Easter Sunday and the first Sunday in November allow visitors access to the 'hidden' areas of our Museum, including our workshop, and a chance to see some of the vehicles - including those awaiting and under restoration - which are not normally on public display. The Museum hosts our own refreshments stand, as well as several visiting enthusiasts' sales stalls. A variety of visiting vehicles - from motor cycles through cars and small commercial vehicles to large commercials and buses and coaches - visits for the day.

Also, many of our cars and buses take to the road for the day and offer a chance to see, hear - and of course travel on - yesterday's transport.

The 'bus services' for this event have grown in recent years - many visiting buses and coaches, both regular and one-off visitors from around the country join with our own 'fleet' to provide free services for our visitors, the Easter event usually sees around 20-25 buses 'in service', the 'end of season' event in November has 30 or more buses, and offers a rare chance to see our buses out and about after dark.

NOTE - other than visiting classic vehicles, parking at the Museum is limited to 'blue badge' holders. We run frequent free bus services from Lincoln City Centre and from a nearby 'park and ride' site. More information will be posted before each event.

More information about the 6 November 2016 event will be posted soon, along with stall holder and large vehicle entry forms, but make a diary date now!
