We have a fantastic new fully accessible venue for 2016. This year's exhibition offers a greater variety of interesting layouts (fifteen at present and maybe a few more), several railway societies and eleven quality trade stands. Close to the A2, Ebbsfleet station and Bluewater, our new venue has: Free on-site parking, a regular bus service that stops outside, wheelchair access and the usual friendly atmosphere. Our members are happy to assist those who request assistance and answer any enquiry about the Exhibition or Society.
Our new exhibition manager is so proud of this year's exhibition that he is allowing children accompanied by an adult to join us for FREE. So that means, one adult can bring several children with them and only pay £4!
Ebbsfleet railway station is only 17 minutes from Central London, 10 minutes from Stratford International and Gravesend railway station is 11 minutes from Dartford. Northfleet School for Girls is about 2-3 minutes drive from the Northfleet turn-off from the A2.
Bus route 481 serves Gravesend town centre, Ebbsfleet station and Bluewater shopping centre and stops outside the school on both days. Other regular bus services stop close by to Northfleet School for Girls. Anyone arriving by bus will be able to have one free tea or coffee on production of their bus ticket.
An extensive range of hot and cold food and refreshments will be available. Plus, we are pleased to announce local author and railway aficionado, Rob Poole, will be signing copies of his new book 'Railways of Gravesend, the Hoo Peninsular & Isle of Grain'. Be among the first to pick up a copy of Rob's new book, meet the author and have an opportunity to learn about Rob's passion for local railways.

WMRA Annual Exhibition
By Robin Brasher,
Excellent show. plenty of free parking, over 30 layouts, lots of traders and full catering. I liked the scenery on the illustrated 009 gauge Feorag layout set in an imaginary island west of Cornwall. TT:120 seems to be well received with two small oval layouts on display.

Macclesfield Model Railway Group's Annual Exhibition ( PLEASE NOTE: NEW VENUE!!!! )
By Merfyn Jones,
I was there for a MBF meeting/exhibition last Saturday. Excelent hall with all the facilities you need.
The bus from the station was a very good help for those that want to come by train rather than drive.

Swansea Model Railway Exhibition
By Cymru Rails,
The Swansea Railway Modellers Group does an excellent job every year with this one, and it is well worth attending. It always features a fabulous set of layouts, traders, and societies on display. If you weren’t able to attend this year, check out my video to give you an idea of what to expect at the show and make sure to attend in 2026: Swansea Model Railway Exhibition 2025
