Hullo!
Welcome to Bekonscot - the World’s oldest model village.
We’re now open every day until the winter - 10am to 5pm.
With 1.5 acres of miniature marvels, exciting railways, model towns, landscapes and intriguing secret corners to discover, we’re a big family day out. We’re in Beaconsfield, Bucks - just up the M40 from London.
Over the years we've made quite a few films of the model village. Well, we would, wouldn't we? Lots of people have made their own films too. Below are our favourites, but you'll find even more in History.
Bekonscot is the perfect fun eductional trip; more than 100 schools visit us annually and most of them repeat visits. The model village is a unique and stimulating teaching aid for nursery, infant and junior children with wide application to the curriculum.
So that it's fun for you too, we have lesson plans, activity sheets and online resources all ready for you to use.
