Count Down to the Brighton Doll Festival

Easter weekend is over which can mean only one thing, only 5 days to go until the Brighton Doll Festival and we can't wait. The Festival is held at the Brighton Racecourse which is a fabulous venue very bright and airy.

I loved the wide aisles between the stands which made it so easy to get around and look at the stands. Plus with the generous parking there is no problem for visitors and exhibitors getting to the venue.

This year the show is being held on Sunday 11th April and looking at the weather forecasts it looks to be a great day.

It's going to be an even more exciting day for us at Hello Dolly Magazine as we will be presenting a special sculpt created especially for the Brighton Doll Festival.

So if you've got some time next weekend come along to the Doll Festival and say hello, you can also enjoy a stroll along Brighton's sea front and visit the Pier, make it a real day out.

See you there!
