We can’t wait to welcome you back to the Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition 2022 following two years of absence due to the coronavirus pandemic. We hope you are looking forward to your visit to this first model engineering exhibition post pandemic, meeting your colleagues and friends at The Show For Model Engineers.

Sadly, as many will know, this is our first Midlands Exhibition without Chris Deith, our well-known Director and founder of the exhibition, who passed away suddenly in May this year. Chris will be remembered by many in the model engineering and hobby world.

Chris presented the first Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition in 1978, at the Granby Halls, Leicester, and many visitors will have fond memories of that first exhibition. For over 40 years the Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition has been a labour of love for Chris and he gained huge pleasure in presenting the show each year.

This year we are delighted to be welcoming back nearly 40 of the leading model engineering specialist trade suppliers, all waiting to meet you in person again and provide everything you need for your modelling activities.

The exhibition showcases nearly a thousand fascinating models in the competition and display classes, clubs, societies and outside exhibits. We know that the many clubs and societies will be delighted to be back with you in person.

The team have worked hard to deliver the Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition 2022 in honour of Chris and to make sure that his legacy lives on. In his remembrance, we are introducing a new prestigious annual award for models in competition class “The Chris Deith Memorial Trophy” for Best Model in Competition Class entries.

For more information on the event and to book tickets please see here

Tickets are also available on the day of your visit from the ticket office. Please have correct cash ready or pay by card.

It is with deep sadness that we announce that Chris Deith passed away suddenly on 12^th May at the age of 76 whilst enjoying a holiday in Italy with his wife Bridget.

Chris will be remembered by many in the model engineering and hobby world as the mastermind and entrepreneur who created TEE Publishing, Engineering In Miniature, Meridienne Exhibitions and the Warwickshire Event Centre.

Chris is survived by his wife Bridget, daughter Avril, daughter in law Heather and three grandchildren. Sadly, his son Adrian who many will also have known passed away in December 2021.

Chris achieved so many things during his lifetime and his daughter Avril, who has worked alongside him for many years will now continue his legacy in his honour with the support of family and the team.

The Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition will be taking place on Thursday 13^th to Sunday 16^th October at the Warwickshire Event Centre.

Hello Chris,

I can understand fully your comments but sadly we as exhibition organisers are not in control of either the government’s actions or individuals’ willingness to participate in an event be that as a visitor or exhibitor.

As we got closer to the Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition it was very clear that there was still a lot of trepidation and uncertainty from everyone which led us to cancel the event in July some 3 months prior to the planned event.

We are trying to return to normal and tickets are as you say available much closer to the event when hopefully everything is more stable and we can return back to what we all enjoy.

It was not our intention to be "unfair" we were and are working away to bring back events.

Midlands Garden Rail Show
Saturday 12^th & Sunday 13^th March 2022
Warwickshire Event Centre

Plans are “on track” for the Midlands Garden Rail Show taking place on Saturday 12^th and Sunday 13^th March 2022.

This event features the larger gauges of O Gauge, G Scale, Gauge 1, 16mm and more.

There will be over 15 layouts and clubs at the event. Plenty of inspiration if you are planning your own garden railway be it live steam, gas or coal fired.

Over 30 leading suppliers will also be at the show to help you create your dream garden railway selling everything you could need including locomotives, rolling stock, track and accessories.

For further details on the exhibition and suppliers attending will be updated over the coming months at; www.midlandsgardenrailshow.co.uk.

Tickets are on sale now!

Good Afternoon,

It is with deep regret that due to the ongoing uncertainties of Covid-19 pandemic; we have to announce the cancellation of the 2021 Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition which was due to be held at the Warwickshire Event Centre on the 14th-17th October.

This difficult decision is taken despite a real determination by the Meridienne Exhibitions team, trade, clubs, societies, exhibitors and other supporters, all striving to continue to deliver the usual high quality and successful event during this very difficult time.

Over the past few weeks, we have been in the excruciating position of considering every possible scenario to see how we might be able to proceed, but sadly the risks of holding the event now far outweigh the reasons for going ahead. The core decision is based on the escalating cases of COVID-19, and the risks that widespread illness and self-isolation could have on everyone involved. We have navigated our way over the past 16 months through obstacles, but now feel that the odds are stacked against us and we are no longer in a position to be able to proceed safely with the unknown government Covid-19 requirement for Autumn/Winter ahead.

It follows that with our decision to cancel the Midlands Exhibition we have also, again regretfully, decided that it is not practical nor financially viable to proceed with the London Model Engineering Exhibition at Alexandra Palace in January 2022.

Having presented model engineering and other exhibitions for well over 40 years these decisions represent a tremendous disappointment for all but hopefully the situation will be different in later 2022 and we may again present a model engineering exhibition.

We look forward to seeing you all again soon.

The Meridienne Team
