Large book fair with lots of visitors browsing tables filled with books.

Second-hand and antique book fairs across south-west England bringing book sellers and buyers together in one place


A great day out for anyone who loves books

 Why come to a book fair?

  • Our book fairs bring together sellers from across the region giving you access to an unbeatable range of literature under one roof.

  • Most of our fairs charge a nominal £1 entry fee so they’re a cheap and enjoyable day out for any book lover.

  • At a book fair, you can touch, open and turn the pages of a book, providing a much more engaging experience compared to online shopping. 

  • If they’re not collector’s items, most second-hand books are cheaper than their newer counterparts. Our Code of Practice also ensures all items are correctly described and fairly priced.

  • Few things beat the thrill of browsing through a collection of books and making a surprising or unexpected find. It might be a book that’s important to you personally or rare or out-of-print title that isn’t available in regular bookstores. 

  • By giving new life to previously-owned books, buying second-hand books contributes to sustainability.
