About this event
The Uckfield Model Railway Exhibition is the annual show of the Uckfield Model Railway Club, held each October at the Uckfield Civic Centre in East Sussex. The club says it features a selection of some of the best quality layouts around, with full trade support and demonstration and society stands.
The layouts and stands spread over both floors of the Civic Centre, which has stair and lift access. Uckfield railway station is about five minutes' walk away. The organiser says free parking is available in the adjacent Luxford Field car park (time limits apply) and, for the show weekend, in the railway station car park. Hot and cold refreshments are available from Luxfords, the licensed restaurant in the Civic Centre.
At the latest edition the exhibition incorporated Scalefour Southeast, a regional event of the Scalefour Society.
What to expect
Layouts chosen for quality, trade stands, demonstration and society stands over two floors. An illustrated A5 exhibition guide with track plans and photographs of the layouts is on sale. At the latest edition admission was on the door only.
