Bristol Anarchist Bookfair 2026

Returning back to Trinity (for the first time in nine years), BAB 2026 will play host to dozens of stalls from across the anarchist spectrum, and a huge array of free workshops, skillshares and trainings. A day long festival of solidarity uniting organisers, writers, artists, locals and visitors to explore anarchist ideas and practice. Come along and discover thousands of books and zines on everything from direct action, anti-capitalism, climate justice, feminism, decolonization, workers rights, anti-fascism, war, peace, and building a better world, together. Get stuck into the latest conversations on Data Centre Resistance, what it's like getting across Europe as a migrant from the Library Bus collective, and how communities prepare for food shortages in this global crisis year for agriculture. The amazing organisers of Bristol Community Action will be laying out the solidarity needed by Black and Brown Bristolians for resistance to the far right. We'll hear the latest from the International Solidarity Movements work in the West Bank, TRAN+ on will bring updates on supporting queers in hard times and there'll be an expert run through of the new protest legislation with the Network for Police Monitoring. You could drop into some Public Order games, a shieldwall practise or a training on how to resist an Immigration Raid. Alongside the Trad Wife to Far Right Pipeline, Radical History zone on the Spanish Revolution, bike maintenance and loads more. Whether you are a seasoned anarchist or just dipping your toes in to see what it's all about, you can expect a warm, family friendly atmosphere, with folk from all walks of life having a thousand discussions, building new links, strengthening old ones and discovering new possibilities and hope for a brighter future. The venue is highly accessible, there will be a kids space available through-out the day, and the first hour will see special focus given to providing a welcoming space for those with sensory, mobility, and covid concerns.
