Radical Book Fair Community Lunch and activist stalls

Please check ticket info for this event below, incl. information about access.

This is an drop-in event taking place in the main Roxy fair space.

Come along, have a bite, browse books and visit our activist stalls at the very heart of the book fair!

To mark the final afternoon of this year’s Radical Book Fair, we invite you to break bread with us. Bring your pals, share impressions from panels and take in the atmosphere of the fair. While food is available, you’ll also be able to chat to local organisers who’ll be joining us with stalls for their groups. The perfect opportunity to say hello and find out how to get involved!

The following groups will be there with stalls during the lunch:

Living Rent, Resisting Transphobia in Edinburgh, SCALP, Stop Rosebank, Climate Camp Scotland, Edinburgh Anti-Raids, DOPE magazine, Edinburgh Mask Bloc

(Vegan and vegetarian food will be served)

*Please note that masks will be required at this event (as with all Lighthouse events).

*Accessibility: All events will be professionally filmed & livestreamed. The Roxy is wheelchair accessible (including toilets) and we'll have provisions for neurodivergent guests including stims, quiet space and colour-coded lanyards.

*Events are £6 or free -we completely understand paying for one or two events and then getting free spots for others. The Radical Book Fair is entirely bookshop run and ticket sales are vital to keeping the fair sustainable and paying all our speakers so all support is heartily welcome!

*Featured books: The book & ticket option will select the most recently published book at any given event, if you’re not sure which book you want or don’t want that featured book, then buy a £6 voucher ticket that can be used for any of the books below.

*If you'd like to help make the book fair accessible to more folks, please consider adding to our pay-it-forward fund HERE.
