Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Gravesend Model Railway Show
Whether you’re young or young-at-heart, our show will offer plenty of entertainment. We have a layout that children can drive and other interactive attractions (including colouring in using non-toxic crayons and model kit building), among many railway layouts and displays; plus, a selection of trains, books and other items to buy. Also, children's author, Simon Hall, will be joining us over the weekend. Pull up a chair, sit comfortably and listen to an extract from one of his books as well as an opportunity to buy a signed book and enter a competition. Close to the A2, Ebbsfleet station and Bluewater, our venue has: Free on-site parking, a regular bus service that stops nearby, wheelchair access and the usual friendly atmosphere.
An extensive range of hot and cold food and refreshments will be available; plus on Sunday we will aim to serve roast dinners with all the trimmings between 12-2pm: Beef, Turkey plus a vegetarian option.
Ebbsfleet railway station is only 17 minutes from Central London, 10 minutes from Stratford International and Gravesend railway station is 11 minutes from Dartford. Northfleet School for Girls is about 2-3 minutes’ drive from the Northfleet turn-off from the A2.
Bus routes 481 & 483 serve Gravesend town centre, Ebbsfleet station and Bluewater shopping centre and stop close to the school on both days; Hall Road stop towards Ebbsfleet and Painters Ash Lane stop towards Gravesend. Other regular bus services, such as Fastrack B, stop fairly near to Northfleet School for Girls. As last year, anyone who presents their Arriva bus ticket to the pay desk can obtain a free Tea/Coffee/Cold drink.
