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.

Scheduled Events

Marvels of Meccano at Kempton Steam Museum, near Feltham

Saturday 20 June 2026 – Sunday 21 June 2026, 10:30am – 4:00pm

Join Runnymede Meccano Guild for a full weekend of Meccano goodness in our marquee right beside the Engine House of Kempton Steam Museum. The Museum houses the world's largest steam engine in working order, which should be in steam at intervals throughout both days. Train rides should be available on their steam railway (tickets sold separately on the day). Don’t forget to sample the delicious cakes and savouries on sale from the refreshments counter.

The Meccano Exhibition takes place on Fathers' Day weekend, which is sure to attract additional visitors.

The museum has ample free parking.

Kempton Steam Museum is just a couple of miles from the London end of the M3. The museum is reachable WITHOUT actually entering ULEZ, but is very close to its boundary, so anyone whose vehicle is not ULEZ compliant should choose their route carefully. For advice to help avoid ULEZ see this map and these directions

Meccano Exhibitors should reserve table space in advance by contacting Robin Schoolar
