Living History Trail

Welcome to the Living History Trail where you can discover who walked down these streets before you. The trail captures a glimpse into the lives of ordinary townsfolk and shares the impact they left on the Town’s history. What mark will you leave? This trail leaflet gives a hint of what the trail is all about.

Milton Keynes Model Railway Society

It's the Milton Keynes Model Railway Society annual exhibition on Saturday 16th July

I will be exhibiting my 'indoor' garden railway there. (Stand 18 Penphyll Halt)

There are 11 layouts plus trade stands and demos.

£5 adult, Kids £1 Under 5's free.

If bringing children I highly recommend a step stool as some of the layouts are at adult height so a step stool makes it eye level for children or you have to lift and carry.

See attached details - Exhibition guide and Floor plan.
