This Saturday the Imber bus Event is running again. It gives you access to the village of Imber which is only open to the public a couple of times each year.

It’s a great photographic opportunity and you get to ride on vintage Routemaster London buses as well as other vintage buses. It is likely to be very popular so you might find it difficult to get images without people in!
