April Highlights
April 21st is ‘Drive it Day’ and ‘Ride it Day’ and is an opportunity for all classic car owners and classic motorcyclists to drive out and visit participating venues in the company of like minded classic vehicle enthusiasts. The museum will welcome all participants visiting the museum and will make a donation on behalf of each one to the NSPCC as the nominated charity of the national organisers of this event, FBHVC. Visitors, whether just popping in or staying for a longer period can tour the museum and enjoy a range of light snacks, tea, coffee and soft drinks which will be available all day.
April also sees the launch of our ‘Bike of the Month’ feature where we will showcase one of our top motorcycle exhibits each month throughout the year. The Norman B4 Sport from the local Ashford based manufacturer is the April exhibit, so do come along to see this superb looking sports bike.
Opening Times
The museum is open every Sunday and Wednesday between 1030 and 1630 with the last entry at 1530. Why not come along and enjoy a great day out for all the family. All full price annual entry tickets are valid for a whole year from the date of first entry, so you can return on as many open days as you like.
About Dover Transport Museum
We are a registered charity and the only museum of its kind in Kent. The Dover Transport Museum is home to many forms of vintage transport and also features vintage shop fronts displaying the kind of items that were familiar to our young visitor’s grandparents and great-grandparents. With a large visitor-operated model railway a visit to the Dover Transport Museum makes a memorable family day out.
