Dorchester Book Fair 2025

Second Hand Books - Hardy and other Victorian Writers

Not a THS Event

The Thomas Hardy Society will be having a book stall at the event

Organised by the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association (PBFA)

Independent sellers will be offering antiquarian & second hand books, modern firsts, signed editions, prints, maps and ephemera at the Dorchester book fair, in the stunning Victorian Hall of the Dorset Museum & Art Gallery. Coinciding with the final day of the Dorchester Literary Festival – this is a new addition to a week packed with author talks and events, which has become a calendar staple for book lovers on the South Coast.

Why not make a day of it and couple your visit with a tour of the Dorset Museum and Art Gallery, including Thomas Hardy’s study and special collections library.

Organised by Endpaper Books. Members of the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association | Instagram & Facebook @ endpaper_books
