00:01Hundreds of miniature hobbyists flock to the Kensington Dollhouse Festival in London to

00:13hunt down some mini-microwaves, little lighting and other small furnishings.

00:21The annual festival has been gathering some of the world's finest miniature craft people

00:26since 1985, celebrating a hobby that he has seen rising interest recently and a mushrooming

00:32of online activity.

00:36Miniature creator Julie Jackson said that people who started dollhouses in the pandemic

00:41and they really find it's nice to get out to a show and see things in the flesh.

00:46There are a lot of people who started dollhouses in the pandemic and they really find it's

00:53nice to get out to a show and actually see things in the flesh.

00:56It's great to shop online, which obviously people were doing in the pandemic, but coming

01:01out to a show and actually seeing it in person, in living colour and being able to talk about

01:06the pieces and ask questions and say does this fit, how does this work and you know, it's

01:12really great and it gives us terrific buzz to shows like this.

01:16Another creator compared the job as a hobby.

01:19Dollhouses may be traditionally associated with children but this high-end miniature collecting

01:33is very much as adult hub.

01:34I really wish that in China we have this kind of fair to share each other's toys and somehow,

01:40in, I don't know, in a Chinese context, maybe it's a shame to share that we have a toy when

01:47we're still very grown up.

01:49But here people are not afraid and very kind to share.

01:50But maybe I didn't know it but like, it just, to me, I found it very fascinating, this affair.

01:56Dollhouses' houses originated from Europe in the 1500s when they were used to display the

02:02world.

02:03the miniature positions of the wealthy.

02:04The skill and the authenticity, how they can make these replicas look so real in such

02:05a tiny, tiny model.

02:06I find it amazing.

02:07It's amazing.

02:08It's amazing.

02:09It's amazing.

02:10It's amazing.

02:11It's amazing.

02:12It's amazing.

02:13It's amazing.

02:14It's amazing.

02:15It's amazing.

02:16It's amazing.

02:17It's amazing to be used to the world in Europe, in Europe, in the 1500s, when they were

02:19used to display the miniature positions of the wealthy.

02:24The skill and the authenticity, they can make these replicas look so real in such a tiny,

02:31tiny model.

02:32I find it amazing.

02:33I've always made, sort of like airfix models and things like that.

02:37But this is what we call like scratch building, where they're literally taking materials and

02:40making them from their own intuition, really, which is an amazing skill to have.

02:45Like I said, mostly I'd read a page, follow the instructions, put it together.

02:50But this is just something different, completely different in the modelling world.

02:54The Anwal Festival showcases tinny versions of anything needed to furnish a house,

02:59from candeliers and paintings to Mahogani writing tables and kitchen items,

03:03all with steep price tags.
