About this event

Get close up to Copenhagen Fields, our magnificent 2mm scale (1:152) depiction of London as it was in the 1920s and 1930s. The layout team will introduce the layout, and you will learn about what inspired the project, how it was realised, and the modelling work that is still continuing. In the relaxed atmosphere of Keen House you can look behind the scenes, ask questions, and admire the trains running through the urban landscape.

This ticket entitles you to a timed entry visit to Copenhagen Fields plus a complementary copy of a 20 page booklet. Please make sure you are on time!

You can view the rest of our layouts and stands for as long as you wish. The event is open 10:00 to 17:00 Saturday and 10:00 to 16:00 on Sunday and refreshments will be available. Please note that Keen House has steps and stairs to all parts of the building.
