Special & Themed Fairs

Check this space regularly for details of our 2026 Events. So far this year we have had the  Bloomsbury Summer Book Fair, and the Bloomsbury Christmas Book Fair, we are hoping to add the Bloomsbury Photograph Fair and the Pulp and Paperback fair very soon.   If you want to exhibit at  any of our fairs, please email us using the contact page for details.

These special fairs are our most popular events. If you’re planning a visit to London during the year these could make for the perfect break from the hot metropolitan hustle & bustle…find out more.

At the end of the year, as usual, we have our  Christmas Bloomsbury Book Fair, on December 13th 2026. This fair is always designed to bring some seasonal cheer and often a great resource for those looking for something special, unusual or unique as a Christmas present. From Victorian chromolithographed Christmas Cards to modern Private Press publications, signed autobiographies or even classic modern fiction in first edition, you’ll be amazed how inspirational our Christmas Fairs can be!

Fairs for all Seasons & Collectors – Themed & Special Fairs

 

 

Our  next themed fair will be the Bloomsbury Photograph Fair which will take place on Sunday 11th October. This event is very popular, if you would like to exhibit do get in touch to secure your stand.

 

 

Admission to all our events is £4 which entitles visitors entry to both events. Open as usual from 9.30-3pm.

We are also looking to develop various ideas for more themed fairs dedicated to books, ephemera, postcards, manuscripts, maps, photographs, small antiques etc. relating to various themes/collectors/subjects more information will follow as these ideas develop into events!
