Exhibition details

The 56th Annual Exhibition will be held on November 17th-19th 2017, featuring 21 layouts in scales from 2mm to 7mm.

Parking

There is a public car park opposite the venue, and overflow parking is available at the Wakefield College site nearby.

Disabled access

Limited disabled parking is available at the sports centre and public car park opposite. If spaces are not available, please make a member of the team aware and we can arrange a drop-off close to the entrance.
