Cheltenham Town Football Club

Whaddon Road, Cheltenham, GL52 5NA


Up to 40 beautifully restored coaches from yesteryear will arrive at the site during Saturday morning for a static display during the afternoon.

On Sunday the display will take place until mid-afternoon, when a mass departure, like in the good old days will take place.


Some coaches will give short rides around Cheltenham during Sunday morning.


There will also be displays and a stall selling books, models and a souvenir programme. The programme will be packed with history and photos commemorating both the coach station history

and Associated Motorways.
