Brian is a professional carpenter and joiner with more than 60 years experience and has put those skills to use creating beautifully made 112 scale dolls houses. On display at Spring 2026 Miniatura was their wonderful haberdashery shop showing just how much character and detail can be added to one of Brian's handcrafted houses. Little House at the Priory Miniatures is a family-run business who bring a huge range of miniatures to the show covering a variety of scales from the traditional 112 all the way down to 144. Veronica has been making miniatures for well over 10 years and amongst her beautiful creations you're sure to find something to fall in love with. Magnificent handmade creations specialise in miniature sweets and bakery items. Their stand is always packed with colour and nostalgia. It all started with a tiny jar of licorice allsorts and has grown into a full range of incredibly realistic cakes, biscuits and other sweet treats. Miss Abigail's Miniatures is another family-run business that creates beautifully designed 124th and 148th scale miniature house kits using precision laser-cut MDF. They're inspired by real historic buildings so there's a lovely sense of character in each design. The Miniature Needlework Society is dedicated to the art of tiny textiles from embroidery to lace making. Their work really showcases just how far you can push detail at miniature scale and it's a great source of inspiration if you fancy trying it yourself. Normandy Whiting's miniature paintings are a real highlight for collectors of traditional interiors featuring detailed landscapes and seascapes at a tiny scale. Although Norman has sadly passed away his work continues to be exhibited giving visitors a chance to see these pieces up close. Sylvia's Mini Knits produce incredibly fine hand knitted clothing and textiles for dolls houses from tiny jumpers to full outfits and blankets. It's the sort of detail that really brings a scene to life. Stacey's Miniature Masonry is all about realism using real brick, stone, slate and marble for miniature construction. If you're building exteriors or structural scenes this is where you can get that authentic texture. The Dolls House Builder offers high quality hand-built dolls houses and kits all made here in the UK. It's a brilliant starting point if you're looking to build something from scratch or upgrade to a more substantial structure. TMF Miniatures specialises in beautifully crafted 148 scale dolls and accessories. The level of detail at that size is just astonishing. It's always exciting to have first-time exhibitors at the show and the spring event featured a dozen new traders sharing their crafts. Keep your eyes out for a special video where we'll find out more about some of those first-time exhibitors in a bit more detail. Alongside the traders Miniatura always has a selection of skills demonstrations and hands-on workshops for visitors to get involved with. Cool Cats Miniatures was running a session where participants could create a vase full of beautiful flowers. Entranced Glassworks were giving live glassblowing demonstrations showing how they create their incredible miniature glassware. Jacqueline Dowse led two workshops throughout the weekend. One building and personalising a laser-cut shelving unit and another covering the technique of making wooden gates and fire guards have the appearance of wrought iron. David from Little Houses Plus and Small World Products was on hand to answer all your wiring and electrical questions. Kit Megget from Queen Elizabeth Dolls Houses was running a drop-in workshop making Easter bonnets and she was also displaying a number of exhibits from her museum collection. Small-scale fiddlers were teaching people how to make toy ragdolls as well as displaying some of their club's brilliant creations. Dee Dale was wowing the crowds and putting on a show with her incredible flea circus. It starred a selection of daredevil characters such as Fleavel Knievel and Bruce Flea performing a variety of dramatic stunts including cycling on a tightrope, the incredibly high jump and being fired out of a cannon. Also keeping the crowds entertained were three of the stars from the BBC's Marvelous Miniature Workshop TV show. Ethan Goodbody from Mon Studios, Hannah Lemon from Lemon Miniatures and Lee Robinson from LNR Models was showing off some of their creations and they also took part in a live Q&A session answering questions from the audience covering everything from creative techniques to what it's like to film a TV show. And the full Q&A is available to watch on the Miniatura YouTube channel. But that's about it for this video and I'll look back at the highlights from the Spring 2026 show.
