Stamford Show 2026
This year’s show is on Saturday and Sunday 9th and 10th May at the usual venue, Stamford Welland Academy and advance booking is available. We are grateful, as ever, to this year’s sponsors, shown below.
Download here the Exhibition Plan and Index to prepare for your visit.
If you are arriving at our exhibition by public transport, there is a bus service on Saturday only direct to the gates of the venue from Stamford Bus Station.
Bland’s service 182 leaves Stamford Bus Station on the hour from 07:00 to 17:00 and arrives at Stamford Welland Academy 21 minutes later.
It is a circular route and therefore leaves the Academy at 21 minutes past each hour from 07:21 to 17:21 and calls at the Cattle Market Car Park (also suitable for the Rail Station) at 36 minutes past the hour, arriving at the Bus Station at 41 minutes past. This gives a reasonable connection into both eastbound and westbound trains at Stamford Rail Station for those returning home after the show – although if you’re not in a hurry we have some brilliant restaurants and bars in the town!
Layouts Expected This Year
Unfortunately, De Havilland MRS have had to withdraw from this year’s exhibition. Consequently, their layout ‘Moth Eaten’ will not be with us. We are delighted to welcome instead and at very short notice, Melton Mowbray MRC with their layout ‘Elmton Bromway’ (Stand 27 in Hall Five). Thank you Chairman John Spence and the members of MMMRC.
