Daniel Mayhew, Event Director at Autumn Fair says: “Off the back of two incredible Autumn and Spring Fair’s we head towards this September’s show in a very positive and buoyant mood. Our fantastic exhibitors and so many of the industry’s leading bellwethers continue to support the show and many use it as the only platform to showcase their new collections. Each season they experience the invaluable benefits of committing to such a longstanding and trusted show which attracts so many purchase-ready buyers. I’m delighted to report that most sectors are already nearly fully booked with many of our must-see and muchloved brands returning to the show.” Anup Dave, The Puppet Company and Wilberry Toys says: “Spring Fair 2022 was the best we’ve had so far, so as you can imagine our expectations for Autumn Fair 2022 are much bigger! With several new lines being introduced it’s the ideal place to showcase these, talk to our customers and share the exciting plans we have ahead of us! We’re really looking forward to Autumn Fair 2022, it’s an important show for us!” Visit www.autumnfair.com to discover a full list of exhibitors, show information, and to register.
