TRAIN & HOBBY SHOW 2026

ABOUT:

The Train and Hobby Show’s humble beginnings in 2007 are from a group of enthusiastic railway modellers that wanted to have a small model train show, to fill in a gap that was left by a cancelled major show.



The first show had just over 40 exhibits in one room at Sandown. The show has now grown to over 80 exhibits  with more than 600 exhibitors, spread over 2 indoor levels and 3 outdoor spaces and expanded out to additional hobbies


In 2016 we introduced radio controlled models with RC Trucks and RC Tanks on display and then in 2019 even more radio controlled models were added to the lineup including RC boats & RC drones setup in an exciting racing display.  That year also saw the addition of other hobby activities such as art & craft and Ham Radio.


There is plenty to do and see including train rides, LEGO, radio controlled vehicles of sorts, interactive displays, club information stands just to name a few.


With so much to see and do, there is a whole day of family fun at a price that even the most budget conscious families can afford.
