The FROME BOOK FAIR returns to the Cheese & Grain
|
We are pleased to announce the return of the FROME BOOK FAIR, now organised by the PBFA - Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association. The fair started as a privately organised event in 2016, with two events happening in 2018 and 2019. Having started in a smaller venue (The Silk Mill), in 2019 the fair moved to the Cheese & Grain. The Cheese & Grain is a great location for the fair and attracts a lot of visitors that wouldn't normally visit a book fair, something that we really welcome. The secondhand book trade can sometimes be associated with dusty old books and we want to change this perception. We want to introduce the wonderful world of old books to as many people as possible. The Frome Book Fair attracts a varied selection of booksellers from the West Country & around the UK, offering an array of different subjects and books for every pocket. |

Complimentary tickets (flyers) can be acquired at THE FROME BOOKSHOP
