Tickets now available for UK Toy Inventors’ Dinner 2026

Tickets are now available for the 2026 UK Toy Inventors’ Dinner.

The 41st annual UK Toy Inventors’ Dinner will take place during London Toy Fair on the evening of Wednesday, January 21st at 116 Pall Mall.

The event is an annual get-together of inventors, designers, product-pickers and other toy business professionals from around the world.

Since the first Dinner in 1984, thousands of inventors and manufacturers have taken the opportunity to get to know each other and catch up with old friends over a good meal, awards, fun challenges and an after-dinner casino in aid of a children’s charity.

The event is held at a different London location each year, with January’s event taking place at 116 Pall Mall. This magnificent Georgian building in the heart of London was opened in 1828 and is now home to the Institute of Directors.

The Dinner also plays host to the W.I.T.T.Y. Prize – given to the inventor of a product introduced in the preceding year and judged by Inventors’ Dinner attendees – and the prestigious I.D.I.O.T. award (I.D.I.O.T. standing for International Designer and Inventor of Toys). This award is given as a tribute to those who have made outstanding contributions to the toy industry.
