SUMMARY:GRES Exhibition 24th October 2026
DESCRIPTION:GRES Exhibition 2026 – Saturday 24th October 2026\nWe’re excited to welcome you to the GRES Exhibition 2026\, taking place on Saturday 24th October 2026. After a period of uncertainty\, we’re delighted to confirm that the event now has a venue secured and planning is well underway. \nThis year’s exhibition will be a one‑day show\, offering a compact but high‑quality selection of model railway layouts\, traders\, and demonstrations. \n\n\nLocation and opening times\nSaturday 24th October 2026: 10:00 to 16:30. \nPlease note the change of venue from previous exhibtions:  \n📍 St George’s Church Hall\, Church Street\, Gravesend\, Kent\, DA11 0DJ \nWhat3Words: ///sprint.league.palm \nA More Intimate Exhibition for 2026\nFor this year only\, the exhibition will be held in a smaller hall than our traditional venue\, giving us the opportunity to curate a focused and varied display of layouts. We’re particularly keen to feature: \n\n\n\nSmall and medium‑sized layouts\nPortable or modular layouts\nCreative or unusual modelling projects\n\n\n\n\nDemonstrations and hands‑on activities\n\nWhether you’re a regular visitor or new to GRES\, you can expect a friendly\, welcoming show with plenty to enjoy. \n\nOutdoor Courtyard Displays\nAlongside the main hall\, we also have access to a courtyard area\, ideal for: \n\nGarden railway exhibits\nOutdoor‑friendly layouts\nLive demonstrations\nInteractive displays\n\nThis additional space allows us to broaden the range of layouts on show and offer something a little different for visitors. \n\nExhibitors Wanted – Indoor & Outdoor\nWe are actively seeking smaller layouts to help us make the most of the available space. If you have a layout that would suit either the indoor hall or the outdoor courtyard\, we’d love to hear from you. \n📧 Contact our Exhibition Manager: exhibition.manager@gres.org.uk \n\nJoin Us in October\nMore details — including layout lists\, traders\, and visitor information — will be added as the event approaches. We look forward to welcoming you to a great one‑day show this October. \n\n  \n
