No other event brings together so many manufacturers and retailers - from small innovative companies to the big chain outlets - all under one roof to do one thing: successful business.

Toy Fair offers just under 19,000 square metres of space devoted to the toy, game and hobby business and is the only dedicated toy trade event in the UK. In 2011 it attracted 209 innovative exhibitors who came to meet buyers from the UK and abroad at the Grand and West Halls at Olympia.
