Model Shop of the Year Awards 2025
The Hornby Hobbies Model Shop of the Year Awards 2025 is an annual award that celebrates the independent model shops at the heart of our hobbyist community and our valued partners in the UK. These shops are more than just retailers; they are hubs of creativity, passion, and expertise for modelling and hobbies, playing a vital role in supporting enthusiasts of all ages across the country.
The awards aim to shine a spotlight on the brick-and-mortar shops, and the teams of people behind them. We feel that everyone that nurtures the joy of the hobby deserves recognition, so we're putting our best team on the case.
We'll be looking to get our fantastic Model Shop of the Year Nominees and Finalists in the news, and we're backing that up with a professional marketing package provided by the in-house creative team at Hornby Hobbies for all our finalists completely free of charge. What's more, there's £2,500 in Hornby Hobbies products for the overall winner and £500 worth of products for two runners-up.
We have now come to the end of the voting process, so read on to uncover our winner and runners-up for 2025!
