#HornbyHoliday Summertime Layout Challenge!
Travelling isn’t the easiest thing to do in the current climate. However, you don’t need to go abroad to go on an adventure when you can go on a #HornbyHoliday! This summer we are bringing you our greatest ever ‘Summertime Challenge’, which is open to anyone and everyone!
For your chance to WIN £1000 worth of Hornby prizes, all you need to do is create a summertime themed layout!
If that wasn’t exciting enough, all competition entries are to be judged by none other than Pete Waterman OBE and Fuzz Townshend! These very special judges will select their favourite three layouts from each category (under 16s and over 16s) to move on to the final stage: a social media vote!
