Staffordshire Dolls House and Miniature Collectors event saw hundreds attend

Hundreds of dolls house collectors descended on the County Showground in Stafford for a fair.

More than 800 visitors passed through the doors for the Staffordshire Dolls House and Miniature Collectors event yesterday.

Just over 90 exhibitors were there throughout the day with a range of items ranging in value from a few pennies to more than £1,000. Among the items on show was a miniature garden party display for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee by members of the Stafford Dolls House Club. They received a thank you message from the Queen for their efforts.

Guests and exhibitors came from across the country, ranging from Newcastle to Devon.

The event is held several times a year in Stafford and was hailed as a success by organiser Doreen Jeffries. She said: "It was as busy as ever. There was a nice selection and a very good atmosphere."

Jennifer Roberts, who runs Jennifer's of Walsall which specialises in Dolls Houses and Miniatures, said: "It is something the whole family can do."
