The annual exhibition by the St.Albans & District Model Engineering Society.
Our show gets bigger and better every year, over 2000 visitors attended the 2018 show.
It's a great family day out with lots to see and do for children
(and grown ups too !)
Lots of local clubs and societies exhibiting too so there's a great variety of all types of models for serious model makers to see.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Latest Update.
The weather for Sunday 29th is forecast to be rainy so we are making contingencies for Sunday and the majority of outdoor activities and attractions will be re-located indoors or under cover for everyone to enjoy.
PLEASE DO COME TO THE SHOW there will be plenty to see and do in spite of the weather!
