More information from organisers:

A free, family-friendly ‘World of Hobbies’ pop-up event takes place at the iconic Stanley Gibbons shop on the Strand. This interactive experience will feature all the much-loved Hornby Hobbies brands, including Hornby, Scalextric, Airfix, Pocher, and Corgi.

Designed to inspire creativity and family bonding, ‘World of Hobbies’ will offer something for every member of the family.

This event comes on the back of Hornby Hobbies’ recent research into the importance of hobbies. The research reveals how they contribute to happiness, relaxation, and personal well-being. The research highlights that hobbies provide an outlet for creativity, foster a sense of accomplishment, and create positive shared experiences for families—making this event a perfect addition to your half-term plans.

Whether you’re a lifelong hobbyist or just starting to explore new interests, ‘World of Hobbies’ promises fun for all ages and is a fantastic opportunity to rediscover the joy of hands-on creativity.
