 About the Kettering Toy Fair
All 2010 Kettering Toy Fairs have been CANCELLED
(but the Kettering Toy Fair will return in 2011)

Since booking all our Toy Fair dates for 2010, we have had to regrettably cancel all our Kettering fairs for 2010.

The 17th October date listed in the Pocket Guide date card will now NOT be going ahead.

It is very regretful to have to cancel any events and we do apologise for any inconvenience caused.

The Kettering Toy Fairs will be returning in 2011 however, with two dates - Sunday 9th January and Sunday 20th November 2011


An Excellent Toy Fair - right next to the A14 This Corgi lorry was for sale at a recent Kettering show

The excellent motorway connections enable dealers from all over the UK to exhibit at the Kettering Toy Collectors Fair. Dalesman Diecast travel to the show each time from Leeds, Bill Bourne of Railway Roundabout travels from Suffolk and Mick Bond regularly makes the journey from Derbyshire to take stalls at the popular east midlands event. Mick sells a great range of 00 gauge model railways by Hornby and Bachmann.

There is always a wide variety of toys, trains and models on offer at Kettering.

John Bishop with some great battery operated toys Diecast models are always plentiful, with numerous dealers selling rare collectable Dinkys and Corgi Toys as well as the latest new releases from manufacturers such as Corgi, Cararama, Burago, Minichamps, EFE, Tekno, Burago etc.

Model train collectors will find many stalls selling new and second hand trains, rolling stock and accessories in OO and N gauge. Hornby, Lima, Bachmann, Dapol, Jouef and Graham Farish are all available at the show. There are also always a few stalls selling vintage toy trains in OO and O gauges such as Hornby Dublo or Tri-ang Trains.

Richard Hinton is a regular trader at the Kettering Toy Fair and brings with him a wide variety of diecast models, including many different varieties of Eddie Stobart liveried transport vehicles.

There is a lot more to Kettering Toy Collectors Fair than just cars and trains. Robert Campling always puts on a huge and very varied display of 1970s and 1980s collectables for sale. From Sci-Fi and TV related action figures to Simpsons and The Muppets, there is certainly plenty of variety to be found on Robert's stand.

There are usually always plenty of Star Wars, Star Trek and other TV, film and Science-Fiction related models, Lego, Disneyana, model tractors, collectors display cabinets, Scalextric, books, collectors cards, tinplate toys and games, teddy bears, puppets and many more interesting collectable items.

Parking and unloading for traders at The Leisure Village is all flat and very straightforward.

There are refreshments and a licensed bar open throughout the day.

There is now a new entrance to the Arena. The new entrance is around the back of the Leisure Village complex and has it's own car park.
