A Stone based railway club is preparing to welcome model railway enthusiasts and families to its annual exhibition later this month.
Stafford Railway Circle will hold its 2026 Model Railway Exhibition at Bingley Hall, Staffordshire County Showground, on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September.
The club describes the annual show as the country’s largest independent model railway exhibition, with its current programme featuring 55 layouts alongside traders, modelling demonstrations, clubs and societies.
Stafford Railway Circle is based at Stone Business Park, close to the A34 on the Stafford side of Stone. The club has told A Little Bit of Stone that the exhibition is organised and run entirely by volunteer members.
Visitors will be able to see layouts covering different periods, locations and styles of railway modelling, as well as browse trade stands and speak to clubs, societies and demonstrators.
The exhibition will be open from 10am until 5pm on Saturday and from 10am until 4.30pm on Sunday.
Advance tickets cost £16 for adults, £5 for children aged five to 15 and £32 for a family ticket. Tickets bought on the day will cost £18 for adults, £5 for children and £36 for families. Organisers say there is no booking fee for advance online tickets.
Free parking will be available at the showground, while a free bus service will run between Stafford railway station and the exhibition on both days.
Full details of the layouts and exhibition can be found on Stafford Railway Circle’s website.
