TOY crazes of the future will be revealed for the first time when the Harrogate International Toy and Christmas Fair starts tomorrow.

The exhibition, the first major show of the year in the UK, is being held at the Harrogate Exhibition Centre and features displays by toy and Christmas decoration manufacturers.

The trade-only show continues until Wednesday and gives the first real taste of future trends.

Steve Cox, sales and marketing manager from Keel Toys, said: "International visitors come to the show and there are exhibitors from all over Europe.

"It's been going for over 50 years and it's the first major show of the year in the UK.

"There will be toys and Christmas decorations, so straight after Christmas it's Christmas again, but this time for 2002."
