TOY FAIR 2016 PR MANUAL 2426 January 2016: Grand Hall, Olympia, London Welcome to the Toy Fair 2016 PR Manual – we hope that it answers your queries about the PR opportunities available to you as a Toy Fair exhibitor. As Toy Fair’s PR agency, our aim is to secure coverage about the fair, its exhibitors and their products in the trade, consumer and national media before, during and after the event. Last year, more than 300 journalists attended Toy Fair, including The Guardian, Daily Telegraph, Independent, The Times, Daily Mail, The Sun, The Evening Standard and the BBC radio network. We’d love to match this for 2016 and you can help us achieve this. All you have to do is complete the forms online and we’ll do the rest. If you have any questions about PR before the show, please don’t hesitate to contact Ravi Vijh, Matt Bowen or Dean Barrett at Bastion on 020 7269 7900. Or you can email us at [email protected] CHANGES FOR 2016 Press Day For 2016, press day will be Monday 25 January, the second day of the show. Please be aware that press day will not be the first day of the show as in previous years due to the show starting on a Sunday. All our main press releases and media communication will be slated for Sunday. While we will not deny entry to press attending on Sunday, the Bastion team will be actively encouraging media and placing stories for Monday. Child licenses Toy Fair runs a strict policy on child attendance at the show. There is no admittance for children unless they are working and have a child licence. If, as an exhibitor, you would like to have a child on your stand to demo your products, both the child and the chaperone MUST be fully licensed and that licence shared with the Bastion team before the show begins. If you are inviting press who may bring children, please make them aware of our policy as our team will need to be in possession of the press children’s licence before they enter. Press children will only be permitted on press day, Monday 25 January.

  Photo  wall    There  will  be  a  branded  photo  wall  in  the  Toy  Fair  TV  studio  with  the  Toy  Fair  logo  on.  Please  feel  free  to  use  this  as  a  backdrop  for  your  own  photography.   Children  at  Toy  Fair    Toy  Fair  operates  a  strict  trade  only  policy  and  is  restricted  by  health  and  safety  regulations.  In  light  of  this,  the  decision  has  been  taken  to  prohibit  children  between  five  and  16  from  entering  the  fair.  Children  under  the  age  of  five  are  permitted  when  accompanied  and  supervised  by  an  adult.  Children  should  be  kept  in  pushchairs  where  possible.  Proof  of  age  may  be  requested.  Prams  and  pushchairs  are  allowed  at  Olympia.  

The  reason  behind  this  decision  is  to  protect  prototypes  that  many  exhibitors  bring  to  the  show  as  well  as  to  maintain  a  business  environment  for  all  exhibitors  and  visitors.    

There  will  be  no  crèche  provided  at  the  Toy  Fair  in  2016  but  the  website  –  www.toyfair.co.uk  –  has  details  of  local  crèches  in  the  area.    

Please  note:  A  special  consideration  will  be  made  on  press  day  –  Monday  25  January  –  when  pre-­‐registered  publicity  children  are  allowed  to  attend  for  the  purposes  of  demonstrating  product  only.  To  apply,  please  contact  [email protected].  All  children  must  be  licensed  by  their  local  council  and  this  licence  must  be  shared  with  Bastion  and  the  BTHA  before  entry  can  be  permitted.  If  the  child  requires  a  chaperone,  the  chaperone  must  be  licensed  as  well  and  the  BTHA  and  Bastion  must  be  in  possession  of  this  licence  before  entry  is  permitted.
