Leading exhibition and conference venue, NAEC Stoneleigh, are delighted to be hosting The National Garden Railway Show in April 2024. The Association of 16mm Narrow Gauge Modellers has over 4,000 members worldwide and has been championing modelling narrow gauge railways, generally in 1/19th scale, for over 45 years. It’s held an annual show since inception and its National Garden Railway Show is the largest of its kind, showcasing large models which are generally used in the garden.
Alan Regan, Show Manager for the National Garden Railway Show commented: “NAEC Stoneleigh is the perfect home for National Garden Railway Show ideally located within two and a half hours drive by over 60% of the Association’s members. Of those in the west of Britain, even with further to travel, many view it as an easier drive than the cross-country route to the former venue. It also has good rail links. NAEC Stoneleigh ticks many accessibility boxes. Hall 2 offers 4,536 square metres of space with just one row of support columns. This provides great flexibility and makes laying out the show easier.”
“The show has in recent years consistently attracted traders and visitors from overseas. 2024 will be no different. We already have a trader coming from Australia and we’ll have visitors from all over the world. The Association’s trial designs, using the content of its 2023 show as a starting point, show that the generous walkways between stands and exhibits, can be as much a part of the 2024 show as they have been for the last 11 at our previous venue.”
Ed Ball, Venue Sales Executive at NAEC Stoneleigh said: “We are over the moon as a venue to be welcoming the National Garden Railway Show to NAEC Stoneleigh in hall 2 on the 27th of April 2024. It has been a pleasure working together so far with Alan and The Association of 16mm Narrow Gauge Modellers team in preparation of the show moving to our venue. NAEC Stoneleigh boasts complimentary car parking and ample hall space which makes it the perfect venue to welcome The Association of 16mm Narrow Gauge Modellers members and all garden railway enthusiasts to the largest show of its kind.”
We look forward to welcoming The Association of 16mm Narrow Gauge Modellers team to NAEC Stoneleigh for a successful show on 27th April 2024.
