Events
The guild meets in February, June and October (usually on the first Saturday of the month) at Liphook Millennium Centre. In addition to our meetings we also support some of the larger national gatherings:
The International Meccano Model Show
This is the UK’s largest Meccano exhibition, running for two days in May or June. The venue is the Embassy Theatre on the seafront in Skegness, Lincolnshire. Our members take around 40 feet of table space at this show and our members are always in the top five list of competition winners.
The Henley Gathering
The guild is invited every year to this exhibition which is organised by the Henley Society of Meccano Engineers. The event takes place annually on the first Saturday after the August Bank Holiday Monday, in Henley-upon-Thames, which many see as the home of Meccano.
Discover all of the Meccano events taking place in London at londonmeccanoclub.org.uk.

Midhurst Modellers Exhibition
Sunday 8 February 2026, 10:00am – 4:00pm
The annual Modellers Exhibition at the Grange Leisure Centre in Midhurst is one of the biggest displays of models to be found in the South. From relatively small beginnings in 1983, it has grown steadily in size.
The main hall will be devoted to model railways, including numerous layouts, together with trade and society stands and demonstrations. Other halls will house a wide variety of further exhibits including cars and other vehicles, dolls houses, engines, helicopters, planes, Meccano, military models and boats of all shapes and sizes.
The thousands of models on show, together with a wide selection of trade stands, will provide something for everyone, young or old, serious modellers or casual viewers.
RMG members hoping to exhibit a Meccano Model should reserve space in advance by contacting Pete Wood pete.wood@rmguild.org.uk
