The Festival of Model Tramways is Europe's premier event for the model tram enthusiast.

The next Festival will be on Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th July 2009 at the Kew Bridge Steam Museum, Green Dragon Lane, Brentford, Greater London, TW8 0EN.

Opening times are 11am to 5pm.

Now in its twenty-first year, the Festival features the highest quality model tramway layouts and displays. There are sales stands to supply the modeller with all the necessary materials, kits, drawings, photographs, books etc., for model tram building. There is a competition, with a trophy given for the best model tram of the show (no competition entry fee, just bring along your models).

In previous years the exhibition has alternated between the Kew Bridge Steam Museum and venues further north such as the National Tramway Museum at Crich in Derbyshire, the Birmingham and Midland Museum of Transport at Wythall and the Manchester Museum of Transport, now our regular northern venue. The 1998 Festival, held in Fleetwood, was one of the events held to celebrate the centenary of the Blackpool and Fleetwood Tramroad.

The latest news of the Festival of Model Tramways will appear on this page as soon as it becomes available.
