About this event

The City of Canterbury Model Railway Society organises a two-day exhibition every January at St Anselm's School, Old Dover Road, Canterbury.

The society was formed in its present form in 1988, and its website keeps an exhibition archive of photographs of the layouts that have visited, going back to 2001.
