This page is where you can find out when and where the N Gauge Society display stands will be at exhibitions around the country. Catching up with our stands at any of the exhibitions listed below is a great way to meet and talk to N Gauge Society committee members.
We have two stands; the mini and the main stand. The mini stand is often seen at smaller shows, is easier to set up and, for that reason, it’s out on the road more often than our main stand. The main stand is generally seen at larger shows; it takes more people to manage it, and a larger vehicle to transport it.
NGS stand attendance in 2025
To help society members plan their visits we’ve pulled together basic information about each exhibition. We’d obviously strongly recommend that you visit the show organisers’ websites and base your plans on the information that they provide.
