Visitor Kids Policy
The Toy Fair is a strictly trade-only event and is restricted by health and safety regulations.
In light of this, the decision has been taken to prohibit children between the ages of 5 and 16 entering the fair. Children under the age of 5 are permitted into the show when accompanied and supervised by a responsible adult. Please note proof of age may be requested.
Children should be kept in pushchairs where possible but please be aware some exhibition stands may be too restrictive to safely allow access and therefore may not be able to permit them. The reason behind this decision is also to protect prototypes that many exhibitors bring to the show as well as to maintain a business environment for all exhibitors and visitors.
Regrettably, a crèche is not provided at The Toy Fair.
Exception: Children who are licensed to work at the event and have pre-registered via the Toy Fair Press Agency (toyfair@bastion.co.uk) and submitted proof of their license in advance of the show opening. Such children must wear the identification provided by Toy Fair (badge and/or sticker) and be accompanied by an adult/chaperone at all times.
NB: Please be aware that there will be filming taking place on all three days and therefore a chance of you/your child being filmed across the entire venue.
By entering The Toy Fair you are giving your consent to be filmed. If you do not want your child caught on camera please be vigilant of cameras and any filming equipment to avoid your child being filmed.
