“Honestly the perfect family weekend adventure! So much for the kids to do and such a unique experience for all of us. Think we might have loved the bus more than the kids!”
Fresh air, free range eggs, fire pits and toasted marshmallows.
Until October 2020, the bus will be located at The Macs Farm, nestled in the South Downs National Park in East Sussex.
A chance to switch off and spend some quality socially distanced time with the family in the English countryside. Oh, and did we mention that this is one of the best free range egg farms in all the land!

Health & Safety
We want to ensure you have the best experience aboard our Dino Bus, and your health and safety is paramount. Therefore we have implemented strict measures around maintaining the cleanliness of the bus - with deep cleans before and after every stay. During these unprecedented times, we have also taken the decision not to provide bedding and towelling, so make sure you have some packed for the family. The bus is also stationed with a wheel lock… just in case any kids fancy a joy ride!
