THE PATRON PROJECT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Displayed below is a list of dates and venues where Guild exhibitions are staged throughout the year.
If you click on the blue text in the second column it will link to the website of that particular venue and give details of the attractions there. The yellow box to the right is the post code; and this is also a link, which will take you to the Streetmap of that particular post code. You could alternatively place the post code into a sat nav. Do try and attend as many of these venues as you are able; where you can sometimes see in excess of 40 different scale model horse drawn vehicles displayed - similar to those shown in the banner at the top of this page.
This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a grand day out for anyone who has an interest in model making at a very high standard and also the history and diversity of these fascinating vehicles. We love chatting and sharing our knowledge with visitors at these events, and should you wish to do so, we would love to meet you! As many of these venues are held at county fairs, agricultural and woodworking shows, museums and stately homes, there is an opportunity to see very many other crafts and things of interest.

Please let me know if any of the links to the Show Venues below are not working correctly.

Guild Members do not have to display models to come and help on our stands.

Below is a list of dates and venues for the 2012 season. To the best of my knowledge these dates are correct; if you notice any discrepancy either with the venue dates, the venue itself or the post code location please let me know.
