These special arrangements help to keep traffic congestion around Imber village to a minimum, but they do mean that there are some restrictions on what you can and cannot do when you get there, details of which will be confirmed during the summer.

If you have not travelled on the Imberbus service before and would like to know more about it, please visit our website at www.imberbus.org which contains details about the history of Imber and the background to the service. We have also retained on there, details of the arrangements that applied for Imberbus 2025 as well as our popular Frequently Asked Questions page, to give you an idea of what to expect and we will update this information during July and then email you again, once the final arrangements for this year have been confirmed.

Last year the Imberbus service raised almost £37,000, which was donated to various charities including the Friends of St. Giles Church, the Royal British Legion, Guide Dogs for the Blind, Macmillan Cancer, Salisbury Hospital Stars Appeal. Wiltshire Air Ambulance, Thames Valley & Great Western Omnibus Trust, The Bus Archive, Bristol Omnibus Vehicle Collection, London Transport Museum & LT Museum Friends, The Dorothy House and St.Clares Hospices, The Athenaeum in Warminster, Chitterne and Tilshead Village Halls, Market Lavington Museum, plus various community groups and charities in Warminster and around Salisbury Plain.

Further details of those openings will be available on the Imber Church website events page during the spring, but please remember to check that page again shortly before you travel as there is always the chance that access to the road through Imber may have to change at short notice if required for military training.
