OAK PARK ACTIVE LIVING CENTRE, COPPICE ROAD, WALSALL WOOD, WS9 9BH

C A N C E L L ED  DUE TO COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS

- TOY & TRAIN COLLECTORS FAIR

  SUNDAY 29th NOVEMBER 2020

Doors Open 10.30am - 3.00pm

Come and see us on Sunday 29th NOVEMBER  2020 when we will again be at the Oak Park Active Living Centre.  We have now been organising the Walsall Wood Toy Fair for over 29 years.   The feedback we receive from both traders and visitors is always very positive regarding the space and excellent bright lighting throughout the hall.  The much larger hall enables us to grow the fair and we have over the last twelve months increased the amount of stalls offering an even better selection for our customers. Please note that there is a very reasonably priced Cafe within the complex and this includes hot bacon/sausage baps and a range of other sandwiches and snacks and drinks.. 

The postal address of the venue is: Oak Park Active Living Centre, Coppice Road, Walsall Wood, Walsall, WS9 9BH - Telephone: 01922 652266.

The venue is situated not far from the old venue, off the A461 Lichfield Road - close to junction with the A452.  Anyone coming from the Walsall direction if on approaching the old entrance if you carry on to the traffic lights and then turn left and follow the road along to the Coppice Road turn on the left you will see the new Leisure Complex as you go past it.  Coppice Road will take you to the new car park. 

ADDITIONAL CAR PARKING

New additional car parking now completed and open - To access the additional parking for Oak Park Active Living Centre when you drive through the gate and onto the original car parking head for the far side where you will see a link road that goes up past the astro turf and then at the top it opens out to approx 200 parking spaces.   You can only access this by coming in to the leisure centre entrance  although you can see it from the old car park adjacent to the KFC from the Lichfield Road as well.  Hopefully all the problems we have been  having with lack of space will now be resolved.  Once parked on this additional area you can quickly walk down on the pathway on the lefthand side and it will bring you directly to the main entrance of the centre.

Further parking on the old car park next to KFC off the Lichfield Road is also still available for anyone coming from that direction and again is just a short walk down to the centre.  

Visitors and Traders should still be aware that parking regulations are being enforced on the new Leisure Centre so please make sure you park within the lines and certainly not on any double yellow or hatched area lines as parking tickets could be issued and we do not wish this to happen to any of our valuable customers.

Any queries please give us a ring on 01922 643385 or email us at: transtar@talk21.com

WALSALL WOOD TOY & TRAIN COLLECTORS FAIR

- SUNDAY 15TH MAY 2016

Many thanks to the traders and hundreds of collectors who visited our event at Oak Park Leisure Centre, Walsall Wood on Sunday 15th May 2016.

Another very successful event which brings to an end our 25 years of Toy and Train Collectors Fairs in the current Leisure Centre which is shortly to be demolished in the next few months.  However we are excited to be looking forward towards the future with the New Leisure Centre set to open July/August which is currently nearing completion and being built at the rear of the old centre.

Our next date is planned for SUNDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER, 2016

Please keep a lookout on our webiste and in the local press for further developments on progress with the new build and our plans for future Toy and Train Fairs at the new Leisure Centre in Walsall Wood from September 2016.

See the pictures below from our Toy Fair which took place on the 15th May.

TOY & TRAIN COLLECTORS FAIR CELEBRATES 25 YEARS

 AT OAK PARK LEISURE CENTRE, WALSALL WOOD

The Toy and Train Collectors Fair held on Sunday 6^th March was once again very well attended by traders and general public and was opened by the Mayor of Walsall, Councillor Angela Underhill, celebrating 25 years at the venue.

Originally starting in the smaller hall back in 1991 and moving to the large hall in 1997 the event has continued to grow over the years and on most occasions over the past few years has been fully booked weeks in advance.

A number of traders have been with us from the very beginning and organiser Geoff Price alongside the Mayor of Walsall, Councillor Angela Underhill paid tribute to the support of the loyal traders and also the support of the general public for keeping the event going when many other Toy and Train Fairs in the Midlands have faded away over the years.

It is fitting that our next event on 15^th May 2016 will be the last one in this venue as a brand new Leisure Centre is being built alongside and is nearing completion so it is anticipated that from the 11^th September  event we will be in the new location a few hundred yards away.

We value everyone’s support for the Toy and Train Fair at Oak Park Leisure Centre, Walsall Wood and long may it continue for future years to come.
