Media Testimonials

If you write about toys, have kids, or just like toys (kidulthood is a thing!) this is the best use of a day out you can possibly have.

Reach

I had a really fun day at the Toy Fair, playing a couple of new games and seeing all the wonderful offerings over the coming year for lots of different age brackets. I had a few very helpful meets to show me around several different exhibitors and there was plenty of exciting stuff to earmark for gift guides, best ofs etc.

Retail Week

The Toy Fair is a fantastic way to meet brands. In a time when we are so often looking at products through a computer screen or home testing, The Toy Fair gives journalists a great opportunity to see new products, ask questions and discover new brands. The Toy Fair is by far one of my favourite events of the year.

Grazia

Great day – I had some valuable conversations with retailers and brands. I thought the morning briefing was a good way to kick off the day and it was useful to get inspiration on the toys and trends forecast to be big this year.

Take a Break

I really enjoyed the whole experience at my first Toy Fair! Everyone was helpful and there was a great atmosphere. I made lots of useful PR contacts and I can’t wait to go again next year. And the food and goodie bags were excellent too!

Press Kids

All members of the media are invited to bring press children along to Toy Fair to help to demonstrate the products. Please note however that you have a legal responsibility to ensure that the child is properly licensed, and we have a legal responsibility to check and hold a copy of that license.

If you wish to bring a child on site, please check the relevant permissions and arrange for the child to have the correct license (as well as any chaperone license you might need). You will need to share that license with the Toy Fair press team before passes are issued to gain admittance to the fair. Please note that licenses can take 30 days to issue from your local council.

Each child will be given a badge upon entry to the show as well as a Press Kids sticker which we ask them to wear at all times to distinguish them from other children.

To bring press children along to the exhibition they must be registered with the Toy Fair PR agency prior to the show opening.

Please note exhibitors and visitors are not permitted to bring children between the ages of 5 and 16 to the fair, so please use this opportunity responsibly. Please make sure children are kept under close supervision at all times.

Please contact via the link below for a registration form and further details or enquiries regarding licenses.
