Feature - Autumn Fair

All being well, the Autumn Fair is scheduled to take place between 5th-8th September at its traditional Birmingham NEC home. It has been over 18 months since retailers and suppliers have been able to attend a trade show, so there is a mixture of hope and anticipation that this event will be able to go ahead as planned.

The show is likely to be more focused than in previous years: at the time of going to press the ‘Kids, Toy & Play section’ comprises a little under 50 companies. Nevertheless, many toy retailers have been looking forward to an opportunity to see new ranges in person, and the Autumn Fair is well-timed, especially for specialist independent retailers looking to freshen up their selections for the festive season.
