The Stapleford Miniature Railway is set to host its annual Open Weekend from Saturday, August 23rd to Monday, August 25th, 2025. This popular event, running from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day, is a fantastic day out for the whole family.
The weekend promises a wealth of attractions beyond the famous 10 ¼ inch miniature railway. Visitors can enjoy a licensed bar, a variety of food and catering options, and browse a range of trade stalls. The event also features displays of classic cars and motorcycles, as well as stationary engines.
A special highlight for aviation enthusiasts will be the expected flypasts. A Spitfire is scheduled to fly past on Saturday, August 23rd at approximately 1:16 PM, and again on Sunday, August 24th at around 1:49 PM. A Hurricane flypast is also expected on Monday, August 25th at approximately 2:38 PM.
The event, held at Stapleford Park in Melton Mowbray, LE14 2SF, is in aid of LOROS hospice. Admission is £6 for adults and £4 for children aged 5 and over, with under 5s entering for free. Rides on the miniature railway are an additional £4. Free car parking is available, and weekend camping is an option for £40.
