Toy Fair 2019’s Greenhouse Area – a zone dedicated to smaller and start-up companies – is already close to being sold out.
The zone is selling out quicker than ever with just 8% space remaining and will welcome back returnees such as Forever Collectibles, Alphabet Pie and Muro, as well as 17 new exhibitors including 3Style Scooters, Piqipi Ltd and Albion Hobbies.
Due to the popularity of the area, last year’s show saw the Greenhouse extended by 80sqm to accommodate the high demand for exhibiting space, and this year the area will once again occupy the same extended space.
Elsewhere on the show floor, Toy Fair has approximately 15 per cent space overall remaining as the exhibition welcomes Vtech, LEGO, Character Options, Bandai, Golden Bear, Fiesta Crafts, Tactic Games, Cobi, H Grossman plus many more next January.
Toy Fair 2019 will take place once again at Olympia, London from January 22nd to 24th 2019.
