From scaled dolls and figures, to dolls houses in all shapes and sizes, from cottages to castles, and all the furniture and accessories you need to furnish it. There’s fantasy and funny, classic and historic, retro and modern. What’s your favourite period of history? Is it the Tudors, or Medieval? Victorian maybe or modern day?


Perhaps you like the dirty, dingy or macabre – the overflowing dustbins, dungeons, sinks full of dirty pots and pans, or even torture chambers! Or how about some amazing Steampunk furniture - or food that looks good enough to eat?

You’ll be spoilt for choice. And you don’t even need a dolls house to enjoy and collect miniatures. You’ll find household items that are so detailed and intricate, you would swear they were real – which make perfect little ornaments for any shelf or cabinet.


There will be workshops where you can try your hand at making something different; talks by experts, special features, incredibly furnished dolls house, plus stands selling all the materials you need for your hobby.

Additionally, there are lots of seating areas for when you need a rest between browsing and shopping, and hot and cold food available.
