Don't miss the 2025 National Garden Railway Show at Stoneleigh Park, probably the largest event of its kind where 16mm, G-Scale, G3 and G1 traders and exhibits are all under one roof. This is the show where manufacturers launch new products and where you will find garden railway traders that don't attend other shows, and in some cases, don't trade online! at least 18 layouts are expected, most with live steam, in various garden gauges and scales, and over 60 exhibitors.
Garden railways are a great family activity, and we love to see young railway enthusiasts experience the excitement of real steam models, so bring the family to the show - FREE ENTRY for accompanied Under 18's
There’s lots to see and do including a Massive Prize Draw, the Model of the Year Competition, Member to Member Sales, Cafe / food and drink outlets
NB : There is NO cash machine - Make sure you bring plenty with you!
Don't miss out on a grand day out at the biggest show of its kind in Europe.
Tickets bought in advance £18.00 (Longer opening hours - All day, 9.30 - 5.00)

Where does the money go? We don’t shake buckets after disasters, we fundraise before they happen. Proceeds will again go to the Water Survival Box Charity run by Rotary Chelwood Bridge who will attend to show the boxes.
What it’s all for
Once again, we will be raising money for Water Survival Boxes. Our Rotary Club philosophy is to raise money in advance of need rather than collect it by shaking buckets of money, which almost always arrives too late. 2023 saw more than its share of disasters, and there was apparently no limit to the need for WS boxes. Amongst other places, boxes went to the flooding and cholera outbreak in Somalia, the Turkey/Syria earthquake, disasters and conflict in Sudan, two consignments to the Moroccan earthquake and more boxes to Ukraine. Members of the Rotary Club of Fordingbridge went to Midsomer Norton to pack boxes and to hand over the money collected from the 2023 Model Railway Exhibition. Our friends from the Rotary Club of Chelwood Bridge will be in attendance to show visitors the Water Survival Boxes they supply.

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.
