Experience the world of Marvelous Meccano at Aerospace Bristol!

Created to be more than just a toy by its inventor Frank Hornby, Meccano aimed to inspire and teach engineering skills. Made in Britain, Meccano kits included spanners, screwdrivers and instruction booklets outlining the endless creative possibilities for building cranes, aeroplanes, looms, trucks ferris wheels and more!  

On the weekend 14 & 15 February you can marvel at over 30 stands displaying hand-made Meccano models. Taking place under Concorde, you’ll be able to get up close to huge, tiny and moving Meccano models and even enjoy the opportunity to radio control a Meccano built locomotive!
