Oxford Playhouse
About

The Oxford Bus Museum in Long Hanborough offers a fascinating journey through over 130 years of Oxfordshire’s transport history. Its collection spans from the 1821 “Dandy horse” bicycle and an 1881 horse‑drawn tram to classic motor buses, coaches, cars, and cycles of the 20th century. Many vehicles are beautifully restored, and visitors can step aboard to experience their charm firsthand. The museum also houses a wealth of transport‑related artefacts, including ticket machines, road signs, and scale models, alongside a working restoration workshop where ongoing projects can be seen. On selected dates, heritage bus rides bring the past to life on local routes. Family‑friendly and largely wheelchair‑accessible, the museum features a café, shop, and welcoming volunteer team. Located near Woodstock and Blenheim Palace, it offers an engaging blend of nostalgia, craftsmanship, and local heritage, making it a rewarding stop for enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.
