Travel to the Exhibition
All 3 possible main entrance routes will be marked by sign posts directing you towards the exhibition venue - these are most useful for those travelling by car or foot to the venue.
Travelling by car:
Parking on site in the Arun Leisure Centre (PO22 8ED) - right next to the venue, however spaces are owned by the Arun Leisure Centre so parking is shared with them, so a space is not guaranteed.
Parking in surrounding side streets - very few, if any are permit only so as long as you are parked safely and legally this is permitted by the local council.
Parking and Riding - multiple car parks local to the venue and the Bognor Regis/Felpham area are cheap and can allow all day, so parking there and getting the bus in may be more useful - see the bus section below for details.

Barnham - arriving into Barnham, you can either catch a connecting train to Bognor Regis and travel from there, or catch the bus from the station entrance - see the bus section below for details.

Robertsbridge Model Railway Show 24-25 May 2025
By clogger,
Good little show. Bit biased though as I’m exhibiting at the show and have done so for a couple of years now.

The National Festival of Railway Modelling @ NEC
By 7013,
Considering this is the first show by BRM I thought they did a reall good job.
Quibbles: I know you have to rent the floorspace by the square metere, but it got a bit crowded at times between stalls/layouts.
Positives: Lots of good trade support, some superb layouts, and very helpful friendly staff.
Warley was always going to be a hard act to follow, and the organisers did well.
I can see this growing in the future

Tyneside Model Railway Exhibition
By jacko,
Drove down from Lanark early on Saturday morning (6 hour round trip!) to arrive shortly after 10am. The first surprise was seeing my cousin showing his O gauge layout in the foyer (shown as east Glasson port authority on the programme but it wasn't that). Nice to have a chat with him as we've not met for a couple of years. Moving on to the main halls, there seemed to be plenty of space for viewing, helped no doubt by my being there so early. I'd driven down especially to see Grantham, Pelaw and Fencehouses having seen them in the mags and I wasn't disappointed so spent at least an hour swapping between the three. All three layouts exceeded expectations but it was also great to see Richmond in the flesh, it having only just appeared in print last month. I saw Alston in Glasgow in February and there's been no drop in quality. However, my favourite (and I'm probably biased as I'm modelling the s&c) was Kirtley Bridge - what a superb layout, the quality of modelling and the atmosphere was outstanding. I think I spent around 3 hours at the show and was absolutely wrecked by the time I got home but it was well worth it. I'll be watching out for next year's dates to make sure they're kept clear.
