Nordic House will present the first annual Hull Radical Book Fair next month.

The event will take place on Saturday 12 August from 11am until 4pm and was fully booked with stalls within weeks of being announced by the organisers.

Among the organisations planning to attend are Yorkshire Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, Hull Wildlife Protectors, AnarCom Network and the Communist Workers Organisation.

Events within the book fair will include workshops by Sheffield Palestine Action Workshop and the Prison Abolition Group plus a performance by Yorkshire beat poet Jack Horner, aka Leon the Pig Farmer.

Charlotte Theill, Manage of Nordic House, said: “The Radical Book Fair will be the first of its kind in the city and we’re really pleased that the organisers decided to come to us.

“It will be a busy day in the city centre with Humber Street Sesh also taking place and we’re hopeful that a lot of people will come and explore the book fair on their way to the festival. We can keep their purchases in a safe place for them to collect at a later date.
