Dorchester

24th Oct 2026

Event Information

 The PBFA welcomes you back to the Dorchester book fair, now located in the stunning Victorian Hall of the Dorset Museum & Art Gallery.

The fair coincides with the Dorchester Literary Festival - a great week packed with author talks and events, which has become a calendar staple for bibliophiles on the south coast.

PBFA members will be offering antiquarian & second hand books, modern firsts, signed editions, prints, maps and ephemera.

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. 

With parking available, a cafe on site and a bustling town centre location, we look forward to continuing this new chapter for the fair.
