The forthcoming Derry Radical Bookfair will take place in the city on Saturday 1st February 2025. Each year, the annual radical book fair takes place as part of the Bloody Sunday March week of scheduled events. A head of the day long event, a spokesperson for the Derry Radical Bookfair organising committee said that “We are currently scheduling the series of events for the day itself, with more bookstalls, book presentations and of course discussions. For most who attend the event each year, our book fair is seen as an important marker or a focal point of Derry’s radical political calendar. Most stalls have a wide selection of anarchist, feminist, environmental or marxist literature. Radical publications which are not that easily accessible, especially in big corporate book shops in the high street.
“We continue to promote smaller independent booksellers and have built up a number of contacts who attend each year to present their books and publications. Since we first began our bookfair in Derry, we have created a strong community atmosphere and a network of people who love and appreciate the need for holding a space for radical politics and radical literature alike.
“Our next Radical Bookfair will be our 9th year which is fantastic. It has grown every year and it’s something that the local community has engaged in and welcomed, not to mention the attraction it has from visitors from beyond Derry. From radical books and radical political discussion, crafts, radical merchandise as well as hot vegetarian and vegan food, Derry Radical Bookfair is without doubt the place to be.”
The forthcoming Derry Radical Bookfair takes place in the heart of the Bogside, at Pilots Row Community Centre on Saturday 1st February 2025. Admission is free and the day kicks off at 12pm until 5pm.
