Railwayana Swapmeet

Buy, sell and explore a world of railway memorabilia

The famous GCR Railwayana Swapmeet returns to the Quorn and Woodhouse Station for 2026!

Great Central Railway hosts one of the longest-standing events of its kind in the country, and we’ll have trains running all day, so come along and enjoy a unique collectors’ experience, explore the station, take a nostalgic train ride and pop into the Butler Henderson Cafe, opening at 7:30 AM for a fresh cup of Tea or Coffee.

To put on a stall is an additional £5, payable on entry
