The BIG Bus Show presents a distinguished collection of historic and modern buses and transport vehicles, showcasing the evolution of passenger transport from the 1930s to the present day. This engaging exhibition offers enthusiasts and families alike the opportunity to explore transport heritage across the decades.
Visitors are invited to participate in the popular “Visitors’ Choice” vote to select their favourite visiting bus or coach—an accolade highly regarded by vehicle owners and restorers. Alongside the vehicle displays, the show features a diverse selection of trade stands, memorabilia exhibits, showground attractions, and a variety of food and refreshment vendors, ensuring an enjoyable and educational experience for all ages.
Founded in 2022 with just 30 vehicles, The BIG Bus Show has grown significantly and now welcomes over 130 vehicles, together with numerous industry and hobby traders. The event attracts more than 2,500 visitors annually, reflecting its increasing popularity as a family-friendly day out.
The BIG Bus Show is organised by The Eastern Counties Bus Preservation Group, a charitable incorporated organisation dedicated to preserving and promoting bus heritage.
We are also grateful for the continued support of our sponsors, whose partnership has contributed to the show’s ongoing success:
