Complete Details

The Floss & Rock Eco-Toy Creative Showcase 2026 is a premier exhibition taking place in the heart of Blackpool, the very town that inspired the brand's whimsical name. This upcoming event, set in the historic and prestigious Winter Gardens, serves as a vibrant hub for retailers, educators, and families to explore the future of traditional play. As an award-winning international brand, Floss & Rock is dedicated to moving away from digital screens and returning to the tactile joy of childhood. This exhibition is designed to highlight their latest collections, all of which are designed in-house with a focus on "Fun and Modernity" while remaining deeply rooted in sustainable practices.

Attendees will have the unique opportunity to interact with a vast array of eco-friendly products, ranging from magic water cards and musical jewelry boxes to intricate puzzles and creative umbrellas. The 2026 showcase is particularly significant as it marks the brand’s expanded commitment to its "single-use plastic-free" initiative. Every item on display utilizes recycled or recyclable materials, FSC-certified paper, and vegetable or soy-based inks. This event is not just a trade show; it is a celebration of responsible manufacturing and the magic of physical play.

The three-day schedule is packed with interactive demonstrations where visitors can test the durability and vibrancy of the toys. There will be dedicated zones for "Creative Learning," focusing on how Floss & Rock products aid in the cognitive development of children aged 2 to 10. For retail partners, the event provides a specialized networking lounge to discuss distribution opportunities and custom display stand solutions. By bringing this event to Blackpool, the brand pays homage to its seaside roots—the home of candy "floss" and sticks of "rock"—while showcasing its global reach. Whether you are a boutique toy shop owner, a primary school educator, or a parent looking for high-quality, sustainable gifts, this showcase offers an immersive look into the colorful world of one of the UK’s most beloved toy brands. Come witness how a local Blackpool business is making a worldwide impact on the environment and the next generation of play.
