Model Railway Weekend

“For 2025 our show has been refreshed once again – the line up of layouts and traders is very impressive!”

We’re excited to offer 20 model railway layouts, 22 trade stalls, and visiting YouTubers, all set against the backdrop of our incredible steam engines offering train rides.

In 2024 we were proud to support the Newhaven & District Model Railway Club. They were great and all the feedback is that the club and our guests enjoyed themselves very much. For 2025 we seek another club to work alongside and promote. So, if you would like your club to be part of our event please contact the railway. We would love to see your club.

Our ambition is to maintain our heritage railway here at the Bluebell. A key part of this is growing the interested of train enthusiasts both existing and new. By supporting local clubs we hope to help in the greater project of securing the history of this life style and time.

This is a very popular family event held across the railway. There is a comprehensive range of model layouts and trade stalls offering an insight to the the world of model railways for all levels and areas of interest. In addition to layouts and traders look out for our special guests who are frequently presenters on YouTube.

In addition to the modelling remember to book time for a train ride along the railway. Truly a fantastic combination of history merging with a modern day pastime.
