Churchdown Book Fair dates for 2023
Please note there is no Book Fair in January 2023. The next fair is on Sunday 5th February.
We are looking forward to seeing you all again then.
Many thanks for all your support during 2022. During the coming year we will be looking at new ways to promote the fair. As the only regular book fair in the county we want to ensure it’s continued success by attracting both new visitors and sellers. If anyone is in a position to help with this, the attached flier can be printed off and either displayed in your own premises if you have a shop or market or passed on to local outlets for them to put up. If you have any ideas for new ways to promote the fair, please do get in touch
Thank-you,
with best wishes for a very Happy and Peaceful New Year
Terry and Jane Sims

Seasons Greetings to all our customers
We would like to thank all our regular customers for your support during 2022.
As you know, we were not able to hold the fair during the early months of the year due to the Community Centre being in use as a vaccination centre. After such a long time with no fair it was easy to imagine that it would be difficult for it to get going again, and enthusiasm for book fairs may have waned. However slowly but surely we were pleased to see all our old friends returning along with some who had not visited the fair before.
You can find next year’s dates here
As you can see, there is no fair during January or March. The fair in February and the remaining dates from April onwards are on the first Sunday of the month as usual.
As this year draws to a close, we wish you all a very Happy Christmas.
Terry and Jane
