Lowmex – Lowestoft Model Engineering and Model Making Exhibition

About this event

Lowmex returns to East Coast College, Lowestoft, NR32 2NB, on Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November 2026.

The Lowestoft Model Engineering and Model Making Exhibition covers a broader range of interests than a railway-only show. It is an opportunity for railway modellers to explore the wider model-making hobby as well as for engineering enthusiasts and families to visit.

The organisers have held ticket prices for 2026: adults pay £7.50, ages 12–18 pay £2.50, and accompanied children under 12 enter free. Tickets are sold on the gate and parking is free.

Follow the Lowmex website for the developing display programme and visiting arrangements. Prospective exhibitors who have not taken part before can also contact the organisers through the website to request entry information.
