I was wondering where it might be ...
Milton Keynes
Model Britain is currently in active pre-application dialogue with Milton Keynes Council regarding two potential sites, and with West Northamptonshire Council regarding an additional site located on the Milton Keynes boundary.

So, is this announcement a lot of management speak ... ?
Thanks for your post, johnneyw.
What struck me about that announcement was the sheer number of words in it: why sum it up briefly in five words when you can add another twenty and hide the meaning completely?
CfN.
It is written to be intelligible only to academics ... and to go over the heads of the rest of us.

So, is this announcement a lot of management speak saying that it's a sort of UK version of Miniatur Wunderland?

I noted their logo has a certain similarity to a certain local station.

Hmm.
I think I know where it might be, but I'm not confident enough to name it: if it is where I think it is, I wouldn't exactly describe it as 'a certain local station' - which is causing my doubts.
And before I get the proverbial mickey-taking here - no, I don't think it's Taunton, or Melksham. Nor Nailsea & Backwell, or Kemble.

Having read further, it appears to be what it says on the tin - Britain in miniature models, with only a smattering of transport.

Model Britain announces the Establishment of Its New Advisory Board - 20 February 2026
Model Britain has formally transitioned from concept to structured delivery with the convening of its inaugural Advisory Board. This milestone establishes the governance framework for a project set to become one of the UK’s most ambitious cultural and educational attractions.
Model Britain has formally transitioned from concept to structured delivery with the convening of its inaugural Advisory Board. This milestone establishes the governance framework for a project set to become one of the UK’s most ambitious cultural and educational attractions.
Having read further, I think this is to do with models of architecture and a picture on Facebook shows kids glancing though a hole in a model roof down onto an underground station. So I think it belongs in "railway attractions" and not "pretty people showing how good clothes look".
Model Britain’s vision is to Explore, Imagine, Inspire. The project will be a large-scale, permanent indoor miniature attraction celebrating British history, innovation, and landscapes. Developed at substantial national scale, it is designed to operate at significant visitor capacity and to offer an immersive experience that blends excitement with deep educational value for children and adults alike.
The attraction will include a structured education programme aligned to national curriculum themes, supporting history, geography, design and technology, and STEM learning for school groups nationwide. The project enters development at a time of renewed national focus on the UK’s experience economy and regional tourism growth, positioning Model Britain to contribute meaningfully to both cultural and economic priorities.
