BlogOn Kids is back for October half term

Published on: 15th May 2023

BlogOn Kids will be returning to the Coppid Beech Hotel in Bracknell on Saturday 21st October, alongside revamped awards for 2023.

Following the success of the inaugural BlogOn Kids event in summer 2022, the organisers are delighted to announce that BlogOn Kids will be returning to the Coppid Beech Hotel in Bracknell, on Saturday 21st October.

Moving to the start of the autumn half term holiday, the new weekend date for BlogOn Kids is perfect timing for brands wishing to reach a family influencer audience in the run up to Christmas.  With a variety of brand spaces available throughout the hotel, BlogOn offers toy suppliers and PR companies the opportunity to meet and greet creators, see reactions to new toys first hand and to work closely with influencers on dynamic content creation.

The October event will also host the 7th BlogOn Toy Awards, but this time with a difference, as the toys and games will be play tested and judged by the children attending on the day.

“We are very excited to be hosting our second BlogOn Kids and opening the doors of the Coppid Beech Hotel to the influencer community once again,” commented Laura Seaton, managing director of BlogOn. “We are planning a fun day of festivities and activations to entertain families and will start making attendee announcements over the next few weeks. We already have some fantastic brands signed up and The Good Play Guide will be returning to showcase a number of amazing new toys.”

Entry to the Toy Awards will open in the summer, with more details to be released soon. “We’ve been keen for the children to become the judges for some time now, and we can’t wait to see what they vote as the top toys for Christmas,” Laura added.

Last year’s Awards winners are available here.

Toy Industry PR specialist, Vicki Marler-Hausen of Elmer Marketing, added: “BlogOn has been a not-to-be-missed event in my PR calendar for several years, and it’s great news that Laura and her dedicated team will be back again in October to deliver another incredibly fun day. BlogOn is a brilliant and budget friendly launch platform for clients to promote new toys and key ranges ahead of the crucial Christmas buying window. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to build relationships with content creators in person and gather valuable coverage at an important time of year, so I recommend giving Laura a call to hear more of her plans for this year’s event.”

BlogOn is also proud to support The Toy Trust and donated over £1300 to the charity in 2022 following fundraising at its events. The raffle is always a highlight of the day and the team is grateful for any prize donations, as well as gifts for the incredibly popular and sought-after goody bags.
