Kensington Dolls House Festival 2010
Preview of the Kensington Dolls House Festival 2010...
Established in 1985 by Caroline Hamilton and Sue Atkinson, The Kensington Dollshouse Festival (formerly the London Dollshouse Festival) has become the top international show for quality dolls' houses, miniatures and models. In 2005, Charlotte Stokoe took over the organisation of the Festival, and has introduced other events alongside the main show, including workshops, tours to places of interest, free children's activities and free Sunday talks from Dollshouse experts.
Visitors travel to London from Japan, USA and Europe to attend the Festival every year and there are over 175 crafts people exhibiting, many of which also come from abroad. 95% of all the items for sale are hand made and you will see an awe inspiring array of miniatures and have the chance to talk to the artisans who create them. This is not just an exhibition for collectors, it is a day out for everyone, of all ages, and you are sure to find everything you need for your dolls house, model or project.
The Festival this year is taking place on 14th - 16th May and Pinchbeck Miniatures are very pleased to be attending this prestigious event.
