KDF - 25 years on

Established in 1985 by Caroline Hamilton & Sue Atkinson, The Kensington Dollshouse Festival (formerly the London Dollshouse Festival), has become the top international show for quality dolls' houses, miniatures & models.

Faithful customers travel to London from Japan, USA and Europe just to visit the Festival every year, there are 175+ craftsmen exhibiting, many of which also come from abroad and all of who make the items they sell themselves. In fact 95% of all the items for sale are hand made.

In 2005, Charlotte Stokoe took over the organisation of the Festival, and has introduced other events alongside the main show, including workshops with some of the most established names in miniatures, tours to places of interest, free children's activities & free Sunday talks from dolls house experts. She also introduced the one day Christmas Festival, which quickly became as important as its May counterpart.

You will find everything you need for your dolls' house or model at the Festival, from a gilt console table to a humble clothes peg, you can buy kits to assemble & decorate yourself with the wide range of DIY components available, or a completed mansion with lights and furniture already installed.

We provide a free catalogue with full details of all the exhibitors at the Festival and clear floor plans, free cloakroom facilities & excellent refreshments, with hot lunches & cold snacks available all day.

We are now the only place to buy top quality miniatures in Central London - a fantastic day out for everyone.

 

Please Note:  The usual scale for dolls house miniatures is 1:12, but 1:24 is now becoming popular as well. Most items at the Festival will be in these scales.
