Poole and District Model Railway Society 70th Anniversary Exhibition

About this event

Celebrate 70 years of Poole & District Model Railway Society at Corfe Hills School, Higher Blandford Road, Broadstone, BH18 9BG, on 17–18 October 2026.

Saturday 10.30am–5pm; Sunday 10am–4pm. Adults £8; accompanied children under 16 enter free. Free parking is available on site. The exhibition is on the ground floor with disabled access, and hot and cold refreshments are available.

The current organiser roster contains 21 booked layouts in O, EM, P4, OO, OO9, N and 2mm finescale. Its Traders section lists 13 entries including Puffin-Billy and PDMRS members’ sales. The hall plan also names James Trains and Rose & Rose among other stands; these have not been added to the trader count because their role is not specified in the Traders section.

Model Railway Solutions and Ray Heard Model Railways jointly sponsor the show. See the organiser’s programme and hall plan for stand positions, which may change on the day.

Verified 12 October 2026 against the official 2026 show page.
