If you have any toys or collectables that you are looking to sell, why not bring them along to one of the fairs - many of the dealers are always keen to buy and will pay top prices for your models on the spot.
If you have lots of items to sell, why not consider booking a stall yourself. Many people find it a great way to turn surplus models into cash.
We have been organising toy fairs, or swapmeets as they are sometimes known, since 1979 and try to make sure that every fair is a very enjoyable day out for both stallholders and visitors alike.
Whether you are new to Toy Collecting or are a regular visitor, we hope you enjoy each fair you visit.
