Britain's What's On Event Guide
Book Fair
Love books
Over the years. Berkshire Family History Society has been given many pre-loved books to sell, many very recently. These are predominantly local history, family history and social history books – although we also have a fair number of military and transport history books, plus others. If “history” is your thing – then come along and grab a bargain. We need to clear the decks so everything will be out on display. Plus we will also have some of our extensive bookshop of new books, maps and publications available to purchase, including our data CDs.
The book fair lasts for three hours, and you’ll be able to buy refreshments whilst you ponder your purchases.
Just turn up and enjoy – no pre-booking required.
Free entry.
This fair is organised by Berkshire Family History Society CIO, a registered charity number 1204390.
