Tickets now available for UK Toy Inventors’ Dinner 2024

Tickets are now available for the 2024 UK Toy Inventors’ Dinner.

The 39th annual UK Toy Inventors’ Dinner will take place during London Toy Fair on the evening of Wednesday, January 24th at The Queen’s Club in West Kensington.

The event is an annual get-together of inventors, designers, product-pickers and other toy business professionals from around the world.

Since the first Dinner in 1984, thousands of inventors and manufacturers have taken the opportunity to get to know each other and catch up with old friends over a good meal, awards, fun challenges and an after-dinner casino in aid of a children’s charity.

The event is held at a different London location each year, with 2024’s event taking place at The Queen’s Club, a historic sporting venue and the UK HQ for ‘Real Tennis and Rackets’.

The Dinner also plays host to the W.I.T.T.Y. Prize – given to the inventor of a product introduced in the preceding year and judged by Inventors’ Dinner attendees – and the prestigious I.D.I.O.T. award (I.D.I.O.T. standing for International Designer and Inventor of Toys). This award is given as a tribute to those who have made outstanding contributions to the toy industry.
