Event Information

TRAIN TRAVEL UPDATE - Due to engineering works the line from Leeds to Ilkley will be closed on Saturday 25th. There will be a replacement bus service from Leeds and also from Shipley.

The Ilkley Book Fair is a long running and friendly event, kindly sponsored by The Grove Bookshop, Ilkley, and we look forward to seeing customers old and new.

FREE admission to the fair.

The King's Hall venue is conveniently situated opposite the Ilkley train and bus station - an easy level walk from The Grove and central car park.  Around thirty dealers will be attending, many from Yorkshire and Lancashire but also from as far afield as Scotland and the south coast, offering thousands of items covering a huge variety of second-hand and antiquarian, fiction, non-fiction and related ephemera for collectors and browsers alike, from pocket money prices and beyond.
