We just wanted to say a big thank-you to everyone who came along to the Churchdown Book Fair on the 6th September. We’d also like to thank the dealers who attended. It was a great day with lots of socially distanced book browsing & buying! We really appreciate everyone’s support and it was lovely to hear that you’d missed us!
The next fair is on Sunday October 4th. For more information see Dates and Details for 2020

Good news at last! The next Churchdown Book Fair will be held on Sunday 6th September 2020. Churchdown Community Centre have been working with the fair organiser Terry Sims to make sure the venue is safe for the event to be take place.
Social distancing measures will be in place which will mean that the fair may look and feel a little different but these will ensure a safe environment for dealers and visitors alike. There will be hand sanitiser available on entry and visitors will be asked to wear their masks (unless exempt). You may also be asked by particular stall holders to apply hand sanitiser before handling any of their stock.
Unfortunately there will be no refreshments
If anyone who is considering coming to the fair has any concerns or questions Terry Sims would be happy to hear from you. His contact details are in the ‘Dates and Details for 2020‘ section of the website.
This is an update on the current situation as of 29th July regarding the Chuchdown Book Fair.
Although there will be no Churchdown Book Fair in August, Churchdown Community Centre is currently looking at how they are going to reopen and going through the risk assessment process to ensure events can take place safely.
This means that we may have news of when the Book Fair will be able to take place again before too long – so ‘watch this space’ as the saying goes.
In the meantime, in case you’re all missing your monthly fix, we thought we’d let you know that some of our bookdealers are still selling online at the moment.
Clicking on each of the links below will take you directly to their online listings. If you want to know more about any of the dealers check out this list of the Bookdealers who regularly stand at the fair.
Why not sit down with a cup of coffee and a piece of cake and browse through some of their books:

As the easing of the lockdown progresses there may well be more of our dealers who are able to trade online again, so keep checking back for updates.
We hope you are all keeping safe and well and look forward to seeing you again at the fair in the not too distant future. If you need to get in touch our details are in ‘Dates and Details for 2020’ link at the top of the page. Best wishes, Terry and Jane Sims.
Merry Christmas to all customers and stallholders. Terry and Jane Sims would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy, healthy New Year and 2020.
We look forward to seeing you all at the next fair which is on Sunday 5th January 2020.
