Brighton Tram 53 Open Weekend
Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th May – 1100-1600 both days
For the last 14 years a group of enthusiasts have been restoring the last of Brighton’s trams – no. 53 which only ran for two years between 1937 and 1939. This open weekend will give you the chance to see behind the scenes of recent progress on the restoration with free refreshments and tram items for sale.
The tram is located just north of the Chanctonbury Ring car park, off the A283 north of Steyning above Shoreham. You can walk to the site from Steyning, along the footpath that joins the Chanctonbury ring road.
