The Spurn Explorer bus service returns for 2025

The bus service resumed on Saturday 5 April.

08 April 2025

We're delighted to confirm that the Spurn Explorer bus service has started up again, and like last year, you can now get to Kilnsea using public transport at the weekend!

The full timetable can be found here, but make sure you select the correct day (either Saturday or Sunday), as the service does not operate during the week.

One bus departs from Hull Interchange on Saturday morning at 08:25 and arrives at the Discovery Centre at 10:02. You can get off the bus in Kilnsea if you wish. The last bus of Saturday leaves Canal Scrape car park at 16:25 and arrives back at Hull Interchange at 18:02. All buses in between will require a change in Patrington or Withernsea to get back to Hull. All Sunday buses will also require a change in Withernsea to and from Hull.

As we offered last year, anyone using the Spurn Explorer to get to and from Spurn can receive a 20% discount on accommodation fees by showing their ticket to the warden or volunteer. We encourage as many visitors as possible to make use of the service where they can.

You can check availability here on the website on the accommodation tab, and scrolling down below the rates section. Anything which isn't red is available! To make a booking, please email accommodation.spurnbirdobs@hotmail.com or call Kew Villa on 01964 650479.
