Monster-Size Vintage & Modern Toy Fair 9th August 2026

Australia’s Biggest Toy Collector Fair

Last year our first ever Monster-Size fair was the largest event of its kind in Australia. This year will be even bigger! The venue is once again the vast Exhibition Pavilion at the Melbourne Showgrounds (Building 1 on the map below). More than 500 seller tables of toys and pop culture items will be available in this completely enclosed, heated and undercover venue, with wide aisles, high ceilings and great lighting. Food trucks (cashless) and amenities are on site so you can make a full day of your visit.

If traveling via public transport you can catch the Route 57 Tram from the city and hop off at Stop 32,  Epsom Rd, or drive and park onsite all day ($25 Flat Fee), enter via Gate 5. Note that the Showgrounds train station is not in use for this event.

Tickets are sold online only for Early Bird entry (9:00am) and Regular Entry (10:00am). From 11:00am tickets may be purchased either online or at the door. Note online pre-purchased ticket holders will receive priority entry over walk-ups.
