With a mere six days to go until it and its magnificent lunch menu returns, it is still not too late to register for this year’s Independent Toy and Gift Show, taking place on Monday, April 29th and Tuesday, April 30th. The show’s organisers have once again made every effort …

The team at Play-Room has highlighted the importance of its own trade show, one that runs each year at Cranmore Park in Solihull, and the positive impact it can have on its show visitors.

As the industry mourns the loss of Toys R Us, the Associated Independent Stores group readies another morale-boosting gathering of brands with their yearly Spring trade show. Here, Robert Hutchins catches up with the organisation's head of toys, Miles Penhallow.

Hosted by AIS, the show has been shifted from its April slot to take place on Tuesday, May 1st and Wednesday May 2nd 2018 at its usual haunt at Cranmore Park Exhibition Venue.

The show has extended its gratitude to all AIS members, while exhibitors commended the whole experience.

On April 4th-5th, Cranmore Park will play host to the fifth annual Independent Toy and Gift Show, which promises to bring together a diverse range of exhibitors representing the latest in toys, gadgets and gifts. Jack Ridsdale sat down with Miles Penhallow, head of toys and children’s gifts at Play-Room to find out what this year’s show has in store.

Hasbro, Mattel, LEGO, Character Options will join the likes of Underground Toys and Steiff at the event taking place at the Cranmore Park Exhibition Venue in Solihull on April 4th to 5th.

The likes of LEGO, Hasbro, Mattel and Character Options will pack out the space at the ground floor suites of Cranmore Park exhibition centre.

Space at the show has sold out in just 12 days.

The show championed for its relaxed atmosphere and legendary lunches will return in April 2016.
