Breeze to Swanage Carnival by bus

Swanage Carnival is always a fun but busy event. We urge as many people as possible to leave their cars at home and go by bus. We will have extra buses running throughout the carnival on busy journeys. 

Don't forget, all single bus fares are just £3 and up to two under 7's travel for free with a fare paying adult. All our buses accept contactless and cash or you can of course buy your ticket on our app. If you need to get more than one bus to/from Swanage, you may be able to save with a dayrider ticket. These are also available for groups of up to five people. 

Well behaved dogs are welcome on board for free - paws on the floor though please!

On Sunday 26 July, our iconic open top Purbeck Breezer will take part in the carnival procession - keep an eye out!
