Canvey Island Transport Museum

01/09/2026

We are having an open day this Sunday, 6th September, 10.30 to 16.00.
Please come and visit us and take a look at our collection of vintage vehicles and displays. We will hopefully have some classic cars visiting in the morning from the Canvey Island Classic car club.
We can only allow blue badge holder parking on site, on a first come basis, as space is limited. So please park at the seafront and we will be running a free bus link, with one of our vintage buses from the bus stop opposite the Monico bar, on the seafront. Bus normally leaves the museum on the hour and half hour and leaves the Monico at 10 & 40 minutes past the hour. As these are vintage buses we can only carry pushchairs that are folded and can be taken inside the bus with you. The first bus will leave the Monico at 10.40.
Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome.
If you are parking near the museum, please do not park on or across our neighbours driveways, thank you.
