Scale Scotland Model Show

Scale Scotland

Event details

Name:: Scale Scotland Model Show
Town:: Edinburgh
About:: Welcome to Scale Scotland an annual exhibition of models and model making coming to Edinburgh this September. The show is organised and run by an enthusiastic bunch of modellers and the venue will be the Hilton Hotel at Edinburgh Airport.

Scale Scotland is setting the bar high, encompassing two large suites along with a number of other rooms at the Hilton Edinburgh Airport and we hope to attract modellers from all around the UK and further afield. This is our first show, so we are pulling out all the stops to make this a must for every modeller's calendar.

Around 25 traders will attend the event from all over the the UK and many have already confirmed their attendance. Trade space for the show is selling fast and the majority of space has already been allocated. We confidently expect all trade space to be sold out by show time.

Scale Scotland Is The Place To Be
As already mentioned above, Scale Scotland has ambitions to become one of the main UK events in future years. Our first year will bring together a huge amount of talent with plenty of inspirational models and displays to come and see. The show is nothing without the modellers and we hope that our event allows modellers to share their wealth of experience and knowledge.

The other important element to shows like this is the public. Events such as this are a shop window for a younger audience to come and see great models and hopefully capture the imagination of many to take up the hobby. Under 16s can attend for free, so make the most of the chance to come along and experience a multitude of displays and trade stalls which will be unforgettable.
