The Village

A Pocket-Sized World with Big Personality

Nestled along the historic Southsea seafront, Southsea Model Village is a much-loved local attraction where craftsmanship, creativity, and community all clock in for work—rain or shine.

Step inside and you’ll discover a beautifully detailed 1/12 scale village, packed with handcrafted buildings, winding pathways, lush gardens, and those blink-and-you’ll-miss-them moments that make people smile, point, and say, “Oh wow, look at that.”

From quirky scenes to quiet corners, every inch is designed to reward curiosity.

G-Scale Trains

Keep an eye out for our crowd-pleasing trains, including familiar faces from Thomas & Friends, happily chugging through the landscape and delighting younger visitors (and let’s be honest—plenty of grown-ups too)

Sea Breeze & Sandwiches

Pack a hamper! Blue skies, calm seas, and a front-row seat to the coast. Your homemade sandwiches always taste better in the fresh sea air!

The Craft Room

Where the magic happens! See where our models are built, repaired, and painted by our dedicated team.

This isn’t a museum piece frozen in time. The village is constantly evolving, with new buildings, fresh details, and subtle changes popping up throughout the season. Regular visitors always spot something new —and first-timers usually end up planning their return before they’ve reached the exit.

At its heart, Southsea Model Village is about slowing down, looking closer, and enjoying the simple joy of imagination brought to life. A small world, built with care, shared with pride—and loved by generations.
