Sponsorship Opportunities
Partner With Us, Help Preserve Our Heritage and Inspire Our Future
At Aycliffe & District Bus Preservation Society, we are working to protect the history of road passenger transport, preserve our collection of historic vehicles and develop Aycliffe Bus Museum into an exciting heritage and educational attraction for future generations.
We are inviting businesses, organisations and individuals to become valued partners by supporting our work through a range of sponsorship opportunities.
Whether you are a local business looking to raise your profile, a national organisation wanting to support heritage, or a company looking to make a difference in the community, there are opportunities to get involved.
All packages are based on 12 months of sponsorship, unless otherwise stated.
