A series of events are being run to celebrate the temporary Model Mania exhibition currently on display at Bradford Industrial Museum.

Throughout 2019, model clubs and groups from around the Bradford district will come to the museum to showcase and demonstrate their models.

On Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 April, visitors are welcome to attend the first demonstration weekend, hosted by the Leeds and Bradford Model Boat Club. There will also be a static display of a selection of their models on show in the Model Mania exhibition between Tuesday 9 and Sunday 14 April.

Further model demonstration events are taking place across the district over the coming months.

Maggie Pedley from Bradford Council’s Museum’s and Galleries Service, said: “We are looking forward to welcoming these clubs to our Bradford Industrial Museum and with free entry to the museum, these events are bound to be a fantastic day out for model enthusiasts and novices alike. People can come along to see these miniature marvels in action and meet club members to find out about the local clubs.”
