Over 40 of UK’s leading retailers have already confirmed their attendance at the iconic pavilion on June 7, 2025.
The day-long event will feature a selection of outstanding layouts of the larger scale in railway modelling, catering for all tastes, showing garden railways from different periods and countries.
The event is organised by Llangollen-based garden model railway enthusiast Keith Potts. Previous festivals have been hugely popular in the town, which is world-famous for its annual International Eisteddfod and its own Mainline Steam Railway.
Keith said: “Our garden railway festival is one of the most popular in the UK. We’ve been running the event since 2021 and are delighted to announce the date for our festival in 2025.

"Garden railways continue to be extremely popular and our festival in 2024 drew thousands to Llangollen and in doing so helped raise money for local charities.
"Not only will you get to see some amazing model railways in action, but there will also be plenty of opportunities to meet fellow enthusiasts and learn about different railway models and layouts.
“The festival is again being held at our spacious and iconic pavilion. Tickets are now on sale at £14 each and accompanied children can attend for free.”
The event is held at the Llangollen Pavilion LL20 8SW on Saturday, June 7 from 10am until 4.30pm.
