Qualifying buyers can take advantage of the VIP Buyer Programme, which offers perks including accommodation and meals. 

Whether visitors are looking for international brands or smaller ones, the toys & games Preshow Noël in Deauville is considered the place to be from the 22nd to 26th November, helping retailers kickstart their 2022 Christmas collections. The event offers an unmissable opportunity to preview trends, first-look samples, new products, flagship sets and must-have toys and games for next year’s festive season.

Readers are warmly invited to attend the unique 2021 Toys & Games event in Deauville when it opens its doors on Monday.

For the first time ever, Preshow Toys & Games has designed a VIP Buyer Programme exclusively reserved for selected buyers.

This dedicated programme offers qualifying buyers a number of perks:

  • Full access to the event from 22nd-26th November at both exhibition sites (Royal Hotel and the CID)
