PUDSEY CARNIVAL 2018 HERITAGE BUS TOURS - Saturday 19th May.
Bus trips down memory lane at the 2018 Pudsey Carnival
This years Carnival coincides with the Royal Wedding of HRH Prince Harry to Megan Markle. To celebrate this special day our 2018 Heritage Bus Tours will also have a Royal theme: The Pudsey Royal visit of April 1928.
Our first official Royal visit was on April 24th 1928 by the young Duke and Duchess of York, later to become King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. That visit will be recreated in the key sites that the Royal family saw and opened in Pudsey Town Centre as part of the tour. Also included will be a feast of fondly remembered places.
