Model Toy Market (Modellspielzeugmarkt)

The Model Toy Market (Modellspielzeugmarkt) is an exhibition dedicated to model making, hobby, and toys. It brings together enthusiasts, collectors, and experts in the field of model building, offering a platform for showcasing traditional and modern models, including trains, cars, and other collectibles.

The event takes place on Sunday, 08. November 2026 in Soest at the Schützenhalle Ampen, with opening hours from 11:00 to 15:00 h. A separate edition of the Model Toy Market will also be held on Sunday, 15. November 2026 in Haltern am See at the Seestadthalle, open from 13:00 to 17:00 h.

The fair features live demonstrations where models are set in motion, as well as curated exhibits that highlight the breadth of model building—from historical collectibles to contemporary innovations. Exhibiting companies and individuals primarily represent the model-building and toy industry.
