"It's Ok for an hour, but could be so much better, especially with all the full size locomotives stored in the same building but not accessible to the public."

They also had a Harry Potter themed area, but I can't provide a rating for that since I'm not particularly interested in it. There was a display showcasing the company's history and various brands. The gift shop had a wide selection of items, though there was a focus on new TT trains with little to no N gauge options available. There were various items for sale, and there was a nice-looking café area; however, it was closed by the time we arrived after 3 PM, and the entire place closed at 4 PM.
An experience for young and old. The exhibition/visitor centre is larger than it appears outside. You can see the history of the Hornby family of brands together with the chance for hands on control of trains and Scalextric tracks. We found the staff were quickly available to correct any derailment or technical issues. Nice cafe and well stocked shop...as youwould expect. Not very obvious parking signs but not realy an issue as plenty of spaces at the site.
You will not be disappointed when you visit this place It's like entering Dr Who tardis small on the outside and massive on the inside The exhibition is extensive and plenty to see, and somethings are available to have a go. I was well impressed by the cafe, home made food and big portions at a reasonable price A winner The shop is packed full of models and kits to make and even jigsaws Something for everybody and some at pocket money prices
I stopped by one afternoon while I was in the area, and I have to say, I love Hornby! However, I was a bit disappointed by my experience. Some things were not functioning properly, and there was outdated information. While there were a few nice displays, you can find better setups at other model railway exhibitions. That said, it’s an inexpensive visitor center that might be worth a visit if you have some free time in the area. Réservez une table maintenant
The area designated for the TV show is poorly organized. It’s difficult to hear the sound over the noise of visitors who are chatting, laughing, and joking around. There are only two un-cushioned benches available for five people watching a 60-minute film, which seems quite impractical. Everything else about the place is perfect and would easily deserve a five-star rating.
