The British Toy Fair
Always held around the end of January, The British Toy Fair is now held in the magnificent Excel Exhibition Centre in London’s Docklands. Previous venues have included Brighton, Birmingham, Earls Court and Olympia in London.
Organised by the British Toy and Hobby Association, The Toy Fair is the only UK show to be totally dedicated to the world of toys, hobbies and games. About 230 exhibitors of all sizes show their products and new ideas to a wide range of interested visitors. These range from buyers, inventors, merchandisers, importers, distributors and of course the media.
Strictly a business event, it is not open to the public – they have to wait until the shops are full of all the new and exciting products. More than just a showcase of new and innovative products, it also a place where buyers can get to meet industry top executives and discuss their current and future plans.
