Saturday 11th April 2026 ( Opening 10am until 5pm )
Sunday 12th April 2026 ) Opening 10am until 5pm )
Venue:
PLEASE NOTE!!!! WE HAVE A BRAND NEW VENUE FOR 2026. AFTER NEARLY 20 YEARS AT TYTHERINGTON, WE ARE NOW HOLDING OUR EXHIBITION AT:
THE KING'S SCHOOL SPORTS HALL,
KING'S SCHOOL, ALDERLEY ROAD,
MACCLESFIELD, CHESHIRE
SK10 4RH
ADMISSION PRICES ARE HELD FROM LAST YEAR, AT: 10 Pounds for Adults with children under 16 going free. *one child per paying Adult. ALL ON ONE LEVEL.
This is an exciting and bold step by the Macclesfield Group. The new venue is a very recently built, large Private School, in immaculate grounds and with a square footage in the Exhibition Hall roughly doubled from the previous Exhibition location, so now the show will be all under One roof.
There will be the usual Vintage Bus service and great News for Car Drivers - over 250 FREE parking spaces plus Overflow within the School Grounds.
Over 25 Layouts in all the major scales and eras, plus some new Trade to compliment our usual array of trusted Traders who come back year after year.
FULL details will be found on here when all Layouts have officially confirmed their attendance.
THIS SHOW IS NOT TO BE MISSED!!! As usual, the Exhibition team have scoured the country for the best layouts ( Including several exhibiting for the first time ) and are proud of their line up to bring the visitor, the best experience possible.
Also available upstairs, is the Sixth Form Restaurant which will be serving Hoit and Cold food/drinks on both days. There is also an easy access lift for users of mobility chairs/scooters from the ground floor up to the Restaurant, where there are also floor to ceiling windows giving a great view of the Exhibition below.
Many thanks

Exhibition Manager

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
