The International Antique Doll Bear and Toy Fair, running since 2015, returns to Kensington Town Hall following a fantastic and busy show in 2026.

With capacity for up to 150 stalls, we welcome quality and expert dealers from across the UK and the world, ensuring that only the best items are displayed for you to browse and buy.

We also welcome visitors from across the world, with regular attendance from experts and collectors from as far afield as the USA, Japan & Australia.

This event is a must for anyone interested in quality antique dolls, teddy bears and toys – the selection and choice is one of, if not the best in Europe and probably the world! 

There are 3 options for entry:

8.30am – Be the first through the door, whilst stallholders are setting up, ensuring that you get access to the pick of the crop!
9.30am – Still before the general public, you will still be able to access stallholders before the rush
10.30am – General access for all visitors

  • Children 14 & under are admitted free when accompanied by an adult.
  • Prebooked tickets are non refundable
