Does anyone know if there is still a toy fair in Harrogate and if so when the next one is? Thanks.

Hi Motorman,
Quote from Helpemptymyattic website '' Harrogate Toy Collectors Fair was run by Barry Potter Fairs. The last toy fair held at Harrogate was in October 2013. Due to increased costs in hiring the venue there are no plans to hold any further toy fairs in Harrogate.'' Looks like no more Harrogate Toy Fairs. :(
Hope this helps
Regards
Frank

last one was in October last year. I believe due to increased venue hire costs, there won't be another.

Beat me to it. What Frank said!!!

I considered running one in the North last year. But I've since met someone, and I'm spending most of my time down South with her.
If there's demand for one, I would consider it again. But they aren't cheap to host. As well as venue hire, the public liability costs can be staggering.
