Beckenham Model Railshow 2026 Set for Forest Hill This March

Forest Hill Boys School on Dacres Road is hosting the Beckenham Model Railshow 2026 today, Saturday 14 March, with doors open from 10:00 a.m. through 4:30 p.m. at the SE23 2XN venue.

The show appears across listings under several names. GRES published the primary event listing and its own directory entry refers to it as the "Beckenham Model Railway Society Exhibition," pointing to the Beckenham Model Railway Society as the organising body. Weekendnotes and the accompanying Facebook event use the combined name "Beckenham and West Wickham Model Railway Show 2026," and the Facebook event URL itself references "beckenham-west-wickham-mrc," suggesting involvement from both the Beckenham and West Wickham model railway groups, though that has not been formally confirmed in the available listings.

Whatever name you call it, the draw is the same: meticulously crafted layouts and displays spread across a school hall in southeast London. Weekendnotes, which posted its listing back on 16 February, described it as a place for "grown-ups who get way too into tiny tracks and locomotives that never leave the table," with hands-on sections where visitors can "tinker without the risk of a real derailment, unless you count spilling your tea on the scenery."

The venue name itself appears in two slightly different forms across the listings: the original GRES listing and the Facebook event both use "Forest Hill Boys School," while the Gres Org Uk directory snippet refers to it as "Forest Hill School." Both entries give the same address: Dacres Road, Forest Hill, London SE23 2XN.

Admission pricing, an exhibitor breakdown, parking details, and trader information were not included in the published listings at time of writing. The Facebook event page for the show is the best available route to reach the organisers directly for those details.
