Radical Book Fair 2024 Program Launch

Please note that the voucher ticket for this event is valid against any of the books featured at this year's Radical Book Fair. The voucher will be redeemable against a book or a pre-order once the program has been announced. The value of the donation ticket is a donation in its entirety and will go toward supporting the Radical Book Fair and keeping it accessible for everyone.

The Edinburgh Radical Book Fair is taking pace 21st-24th November at the Assembly Roxy and we'd love you to join us for the programme launch!

The theme for this year's fair will be From Where We Stand.

With a nod to the thirty years of a radical bookshop existing on West Nicolson Street, we'll be celebrating the way histories of resistance, protest and change-making live on in every step we take toward a more just future. Through the four days of the fair, we'll be diving into conversations about community organising, through time and across generations, international solidarity, radical histories and how we draw on them. We'll be exploring possible futures rooted in past struggles. Sometimes it's not only about making new worlds - it's also about building from the worlds that have wilfully been buried through history, but which we all depend on.

The full program will be announced on October 12th - on none other than Bookshop Day - and we invite you to welcome it into the world at with us! Join us to hear all about this year's panels, workshops, stalls and discussions, and to get your hands on a physical program.

It will be an evening of performances and celebrations with special guests tba, so keep your eyes on our social media and on this page!
