About the Buxton Toy Fair
|
 A great Toy Fair in a beautiful setting
Buxton Toy Fairs are currently suspended as major repair work is being undertaken in the Octagonal Hall. The multi-million pound refurbishment will sadly not be completed until late 2017.
The fairs will be returning in early 2018.
Future dates will be announced in due course.
The picturesque spa town of Buxton, in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District, is a delightful place to visit. The long-running Toy Fair is held in the Octagon Hall, a part of the Victorian Pavilion Gardens complex. The Buxton Toy Collectors Fair sees the historic Pavilion Gardens packed full with 150 stalls selling all kinds of toys, trains and models.
The dealers who take stalls at the show travel from all over the country and bring with them a huge selection of new and old collectables to sell. Prices start from just £1 and can run up to several hundred pounds for the very rarest items.
There are many model railway stalls at Buxton with 00 gauge, N and other gauges. With plenty of newly released models, as well as discontinued and second hand lines by Hornby, Lima, Mainline and Bachmann etc.
Collectors of diecast models can find plenty of variety at Buxton. D.M. Promotional Models, Dalesman Diecast and others all offer a huge selection of Corgi, Vanguards, Tekno, EFE, Lledo, Minichamps and other diecast models - with many at bargain prices.
