Dawn Quest from Model Railway Quest presents The Hastings Model Railway Show 2026



We have moved to a bigger venue as we were at capacity with visitor numbers last year and the new venue is now the size as our Clacton Show venue, if you have also been to that show.

Sun 17th May 2026

To pre book visit https://wegottickets.com/event/694601



The venue is next to the gorgeous Hastings Museum which has a section dedicated to the railways of Hastings and free entry, so worth visiting there after the show.



Venue is 0.7 miles walk from Hastings Rail Station (up hill) but buses leave every 10 mins from the station direct to the venue. You can also get connecting buses from Rye. Tenterden and Eastbourne. We really recommend public transport as the car park might be full very early on. There are disabled bays but again these fill fast.



20 layouts and 17 trade stands.
On-site café.
Paid car parking is available on site, with limited free on-street parking around the venue.
Located on major bus routes to Hastings Station.
Early entry for all pre-booked ticket holders at 9:45 am (normal opening time is 10:00 am).
Please note that, apart from guide dogs, animals are not permitted in the venue.
Full wheelchair access to the exhibition hall is available via a lift; venue staff will assist if required.
The exhibition is located on the lower ground floor of the venue, accessible via a short flight of stairs. Please note some of the smaller trade stands/ pre loved stands might not take card payments, so bring some cash for those little bargain

Quest 2 which is S gauge will also be giving a full running demo on test track. This loco is built for the attempt at the World speed record for a model train. This was a major attraction at one of our other shows last year with the prototype Quest 1 and kids seem to have great fun being allowed to stand behind the jet engine on launch and feeling the power of the engine
