Hull Model Railway Society CIO will hold its annual exhibition at Princes Quay this weekend.

The exhibition, being held at the Event Centre on the ground floor, will be open from 10am to 5pm on Saturday, May 31, and from 10am to 4pm on Sunday, June 1.

Admission costs £7 per adult and free for one accompanying child, with additional children charged at £1 each.

The display will feature 14 exhibition-quality model railway layouts in a range of scales. There will also be demonstrations and trade support allowing visitors to buy model railway-related items which can be difficult to source, the organisation said.

There will also be 12 trade stalls, the society’s second-hand stalls and book stalls.

The event is accessible to wheelchair users from Princes Dock Street or via the lifts. Toilets and refreshments are on site.
