Are you a kidswear retailer looking to expand into children’s toys and gifts? Maybe you want to enhance your current offer, stock up for Christmas, or preview upcoming products for 2025. If any of the above apply, read on to learn more about the exciting plans underway for this year’s INDX Toy & Gift show.
Bringing together industry insights, emerging trends, innovative products and top suppliers, the INDX Toy & Gift show will be held at Cranmore Park from Tuesday 3 September to Wednesday 4 September 2024.
Presenting an inspiring product showcase covering toys, games, children’s gifts, licensed merchandise and kidult gifting, the confirmed exhibitor list features leading names such as Vtech, Knex/Basic Fun, Juratoys, Bigjigs, Gibsons, Rubies and Smart Toys.
A must-visit event for all toy and gift stockists, this year’s show theme – heritage – will highlight key suppliers and beloved branded ranges cherished over generations, offering attendees a nostalgic journey through the years.
As the only dedicated toy industry trade show taking place in autumn 2024, the two-day event will provide visitors with an exclusive chance to stock up for the Christmas period as well as preview upcoming products for 2025.
The show will also feature the much coveted Best Dressed Stand Award, whereby exhibitors will once again be vying for the highly sought-after accolade. Judged on display techniques, prop utilisation and visual merchandising, the deserving winner will be announced at the show on 3 September 2024.
INDX Toy & Gift is brought to market by leading UK buying and services group Associated Independent Stores Ltd (AIS) and is curated by the AIS toy division, Playroom.
Commenting on the 2024 show is Rosie Marshall, Head of Toys & Children’s Gifts at AIS. “We’re really looking forward to getting the industry together for what will be the UK’s only autumn toy show of 2024. We want to support all year-round trading, and the September show dates will allow suppliers and buyers to strategise beyond the Christmas period and maximise annual sales – not just seasonal.
“The exhibitor list is building, and we have suppliers such as Spin Master, Vtech, James Galt, Ravensburger, Playmobil, Gibsons Games & Puzzles, and Bigjigs already confirmed, with lots more in the process of booking stands.”
INDX Toy & Gift is open to all retailers and visitor registration is available here. Suppliers wishing to learn more about exhibiting at the INDX Toy & Gift show can contact Cheyenne.Spears@cranmorepark.co.uk.
