About Us

Established as a retail shop in the early nineties, Much Ado About Toys Ltd has been one of the prmier specialist toy shops in the UK and to this date are still family run. Much Ado About Toys Ltd has developed into an international brand with a world wide client base.

Over recent years www.muchadoabouttoys.com has developed into one of the biggest collectors sites in the world.

In March 2009 we moved into our new shop at the Old Bus Depot, Stratford Upon Avon, a massive jump in size from our old home. The exhibition team are still travelling the UK attending major exhibitions and toyfairs. We have kept our quaint toy shop charm but at the same time expanded old markets and moved into new ones.

www.modelrcshop.co.uk is our newly developed 'Radio Control' website and it promises to be one of the largest in the UK, with the full support of our on site team and suppliers there really is no need to shop elsewhere.

Much Ado About Toys Ltd is 12 miles from the geographical centre of England with motorway links in all directions. Much Ado About Toys Ltd is also 1 1/2 hours from London and a 20 minute drive from Birmingham International Airport.
