THE FAMOUS GCR SWAPMEET RETURNS FOR 2024

Railwayana Swapmeets take place on:

  • Sunday 3rd March at 7.30am at Quorn and Woodhouse Station
  • Sunday 16 June at 7.30am at Quorn and Woodhouse Station
  • Sunday 15 September at 7.30am at Quorn and Woodhouse Station

Looking for items of railway memorabilia (railwayana) – whether locomotive nameplates, lamps, signalling equipment, silverware, enamel signs, buttons, badges, books, photographs or postcards, you might find it all!

We host one of the longest standing events of its kind in the country!

Please note any stalls selling non-railway memorabilia or associated items will be asked to close and leave the site.

 

On the day please follow signage and marshals as the event may be laid out differently from previous events.

Gates open at 7.30am.

Please note that the gates to the car park will be locked until 7:30 am. No overnight parking will be allowed.
Please DO NOT arrive early and queue outside. The approach road must be kept clear.

 

Tickets

Gate entry fee £5.00 per person - everyone pays the same, whether buying, selling or just browsing.

Side parking for traders is £15.00 (includes £5.00 gate entry fee), this means you can park your car or van side on for a larger stall space. (subject to space availability - please ask at the gate)

NEW FOR 2024 we have very limited indoor pitches in the Marquee for £25.00 (includes £5.00 gate entry fee) which you can book online

You will be issued with a ticket on payment of your entry fee. Your ticket does NOT include train travel, however, you can use this ticket to get a discount of £3.00 off any train travel on the day of issue.
