Daleks descend on Brighton as part of the 36th Modelworld festival

Trains , planes and automobiles – as well as some visitors from outer space – are among dozens of tiny objects descending on Brighton this weekend.

Thousands of people are expected to attend Modelworld which will take place at the Brighton Centre in King’s Road today (Friday) through to Sunday.

Among the items on display will be miniature railways, dolls and automobiles.

It will also include a Doctor Who section featuring some friendly Daleks.

A spokesman for the event said: “Modelworld is a unique exhibition showcasing models of all types from around the country.

“This year will see the show in its 36th year. Having started out as a model railway show it now encompasses so much more and has become genuinely a family model show with something for children of all ages, one to a hundred.”

The show is open from 10am to 5pm.

Tickets are adult £9.50, children £5.50, seniors £7.50, and family (2+2) £26.
