Dorchester
24th Oct 2026
Event Information
The fair coincides with the Dorchester Literary Festival - a great week packed with author talks and events, which has become a calendar staple for bibliophiles on the south coast.
At the book fair PBFA members will be offering antiquarian, vintage and second hand books, modern firsts, signed editions, prints, maps and ephemera.
With parking available, a cafe on site and a bustling town centre location, we look forward to continuing this new chapter for the fair.
