Some of the bookfairs which have taken place in recent years are yet to declare on whether they are doing one in 2018, but if you want to keep a general eye out, details are below:<\/p>\n

Bradford:<\/strong>\u00a0The 1in12 Club doesn\u2019t always do bookfairs, but when it does they\u2019re interesting. Last time was\u00a0September 2014<\/a><\/p>\n

Cardiff:<\/strong>\u00a0The local\u00a0anarchist network<\/a>\u00a0is concentrating on anti-arms activism over the next month and aren\u2019t repeating last year\u2019s February event, but we\u2019ll keep an eye out in case something materialises later in 2018\/<\/p>\n

London:<\/strong>\u00a0The biggest event of the anarchist calendar in Britain is\u00a0not being put together<\/a>\u00a0by the longstanding bookfair collective this October, but there have been talks about running a smaller one with a new collective. Watch this space.<\/p>\n
