After a successful revival, The Chatham Show returns to its iconic home at Chatham Historic Dockyard in 2026. Held in the expansive Slip 5 building on July 18–19, this exhibition is one of the largest model railway events in South East England, celebrating all things model railways (with a dash of model engineering heritage in the historic venue). Expect 30+ impressive layouts covering various scales, a wide range of traders and society stands, and special model engineering displays – all set against the unique backdrop of a Victorian dockyard. There’s ample parking and the atmosphere of this venue is unmatched, making it a standout summer show. With family-friendly free entry for kids and plenty to see, the Chatham Show is proudly “back home” and bigger than ever
