Centre located in County Square.

Commenting on the preview opening Martin Coombs said “We are especially pleased to announce we will be hosting the layouts of the Men of Kent team from the Channel 5 series The Great Model Railway Challenge, with opportunities to meet the team and talk about their experience on this TV show.”
