We open on a selection of weekends between April and November (normally these include Bank Holiday weekends) as shown in the calendar below. Admission for events with a brown background is charged at our Standard rate; ones with a red background are Premium events and charged at higher prices.
Details of our 2024 and 2025 open days are provisional, so although the dates we will be open are unlikely to change, any special themes may be subject to alteration – so please keep checking back!
We can open for private visits on other dates if arranged in advance – there is a minimum charge for this. If you’d like to know more, check this page.

21 September 2024Open from 10.30 am to 4.30 pm; last admission 3.30 pm.
What's happening: This weekend we mark the end of the Charles H Roe coachbuilding company in 1984. Roe was a long-established firm with an enviable reputation for building quality bodywork for buses, coaches and trolleybuses. It eventually became part of British Leyland which closed its Leeds works in 1983, but it rose again under its management control as Optare, which still trades today. On Saturday there will also be a display of classic cars by the East Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club. Plus we'll have all our usual attractions as well!
