We hope so! Due to the pandemic, it hasn’t been possible to celebrate the annual London Radical Bookfair for the past three years. For those of you asking, we do hope to organise a bookfair in 2023. We will announce it here on our website and on our social media.
Thank you for your support so far!
We regret to announce that the London Radical Bookfair has been postponed till summer 2021. Our host venue, Goldsmiths University, is now closed until September and we thought it best to reschedule the fair to next year, to a hopefully more joyful time beyond the current health crisis.
We hope that you all stay safe and well and look forward to seeing you next year during better times.
Thank you to all who applied for a stall at the London Radical Bookfair 2020. We received an overwhelming number of applications for only 70 stalls. We look forward to showcasing an amazing range of radical publishers this June at Goldsmiths.
Those who were not allocated a stall have all been contacted and placed on the waiting list. Thank you so much for applying and for your interest in the bookfair. We’ll keep you all updated!
In a few weeks’ time, we will be adding the list of stallholders to the website. Stay tuned.
If you are interested in having a stall at the London Radical Bookfair this year, then from 1st of March onwards please send an email to cristina(at)housmans(dot)com with “stall application” in the subject line. In the email, tell us a little bit about yourself and your publications, and please include a link if possible or some images of your work.
Stall fees this year are ÂŁ50 for a full stall (6ft) and ÂŁ25 for half a stall.
The bookfair is run on a not-for-profit basis and sponsored by the Alliance of Radical Booksellers.
Applications for new stallholders at the London Radical Bookfair 2020 will open on 1 March. Keep your eyes đź‘€ peeled for announcements on this website and on social media on how to apply!
We are sad to announce that despite our best efforts the London Radical Bookfair will not be taking place in 2019. This is primarily down to the fact the main hall at Goldsmiths University will be undergoing some essential repairs throughout the year. All being well we will return to the venue in June 2020.
Despite not going ahead this year, we will be organising a range of other events:
-The Little Rebels Children’s Book Award and the Bread and Roses Award for Radical Publishing will both be going ahead as usual, with award ceremonies taking place in seperate locations. Please visit the respective website for details.

-A decentralised Anarchist Festival will be taking place across the UK from Friday 31st May-Sunday 2nd June 2019. A great chance to get involved and set up your own events:

And planned for November 2019 will be a Campaigning Conference that hopes to bring together under one roof the broadest range of grassroots campaign groups. Look out for that.
Hope to see you at one of the above or else at the bookfair in 2020!
