The National Festival of Railway Modelling returns to the NEC in Birmingham on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd November 2025. Organised by Warners Exhibitions, this event promises to be a must-visit for railway modellers and enthusiasts of all ages.
This year's festival will feature 40 model railway layouts, showcasing the very best in the hobby. Visitors can expect to see a wide range of scales and themes, from small, intricately detailed scenes to large, sprawling layouts that will leave even the most seasoned modeller in awe.
In addition to the stunning layouts, the festival will also feature 40 traders selling everything from model railways to accessories and tools. Whether you're looking to kit out your own layout or simply browsing for inspiration, there's something for everyone.
The NEC's car park is conveniently located on site, with parking charges applying. Refreshments are also available for those who need a break from the action.
Throughout the weekend, visitors can enjoy a range of modelling demonstrations, where experienced modellers will share their skills and techniques. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, these demonstrations are a great way to learn new skills and get inspiration for your own projects.
Admission to the festival is £22 for adults, with children under 16 years old going free when accompanied by a fee-paying adult. Alternatively, visitors can purchase a weekend pass for £40, which grants access to both days of the event.
