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.
