On Sunday 5th October 2025 at Lyde Green Community Centre (Willowherb Road, Lyde Green nr. Emerson Green, Bristol. BS16 7GW) we’re delivering our next Open Day.
Following on from the success of both our exhibition earlier this year and our Open Day last October, we’re already receiving an appetite from local clubs, societies and modellers, traders and demonstrators to delivering a second event. We’ve already secured a comprehensive and exciting display of layouts, traders and demonstrator. Full details will be advertised in due course.
The aims are:
1) an opportunity for as many local model railway clubs and societies to display and showcase what they do and to inspire and enthuse both existing and new modellers in the hobby. If it generates new members to these clubs then that is another plus.
2) to deliver a comprehensive and diverse range of layouts, modelling displays, societies and local trades to help visitors ‘See how it’s done’, to ‘ask how?’ and to ‘find out how to do it’ and to ‘Inspire the hobby’.
This is an opportunity for modellers and enthusiasts, societies and local traders to advertise and enthuse the hobby. Proceeds raised on the day will be shared amongst and donated to the local community, numerous charities and the Sodbury Vale Model Railway Club.
