Indie Toy & Gift Show ready to open doors

Popular show takes place on May 1 and 2 at Cranmore Park, Solihull.

The popular Independent Toy & Gift Show returns next month, with the organiser confident of putting on another successful event.

Taking place on Tuesday May 1 and Wednesday May 2 at Cranmore Park Exhibition Centre in Shirley, Solihull, a host of children’s toy and gift buyers will be able to view over 90 exhibitor stands.

Registration, admission and parking are all free for independent toy and children’s gift retailers.

Complementary refreshments will be served throughout the day including cake to celebrate the tenth year anniversary of plaY-room.

Miles Penhallow, head of toys and children’s gifts, is confident that visitors to the show will not be disappointed and the team is planning for the best show ever, with even more attendees and buyers.

He commented: “This show is aimed at independent buyers and, while other national shows in the UK are losing key exhibitors, this event continues to receive their valued support. Having established its credentials over the course of several years, the show’s dates have become an important entry in the diaries of independent buyers who are serious about toy retailing.

“With the growth of social media, we are faced with a plethora of trends this year and many of these are evident in preschool product, of which obvious examples are unicorns and slow rise foam.”
