The UK’s largest toy, game and hobby trade show, which will be celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2024, will take place at Olympia London from the 23rd to 25th January 2024. More than 200 exhibiting companies will be occupying the Grand and National halls on both levels - and now also part of the Upper West Hall. One of the stands to occupy the Upper West Hall will be TOMY who are returning to the show in 2024. The BTHA’s Director of Toy Fair, Majen Immink said: “We’re delighted to welcome back TOMY especially in their 100th year. To be able to expand into the Upper West Hall to accommodate the growing demand for space on top of an extremely high returnee rate speaks volumes for the strength of the show and the importance and value the industry places on it. It’s a fantastic achievement to have sold out of space with five months still to go. We’ve now opened up a waiting list and will endeavour to fulfil requests where possible. We very much look forward to supporting all our exhibitors over the coming months and preparing for another jam packed three days of successful business.” Other names joining the ranks for Toy Fair 2024 include Hasbro, Moose Toys, LEGO, Dolu, Funko, Kidicraft, Rubies Masquerade, Rainbow Designs Ltd, Mood Bears, Zimpli Kids, PLAYMOBIL, Magformers, Playmonster UK, Reydon Sports PLC, movies inc, John Adams Leisure Limited, among many others.
