Real ale, vintage buses and the Islands favourite watering holes combine once again for the fifth Classic Buses, Beer and Walks weekend.

On October 13 and 14, nearly 100 classic buses and coaches will shuttle enthusiasts between participating pubs and licensed venues across the Island.

This unique celebration of real ale is organised by The Isle of Wight branch of Campaign for Real Ale and the IW Bus Museum. Bus travel is free, but people are encouraged to buy a programme at just £7 to support the event. This provides valuable information about the 19 bus routes, which include Freshwater Bay, Totland and Chillerton for the first time, as well as timetables and a way to enjoy discounted offers at most venues.
