Accessibility

We'll do our very best to ensure that the venues we use are as accessable as possible. We're limited by the constraints of organising a large event, in an over-priced city, on a very tight budget so we're forced to make compromises. We will however, try our utmost to make the event as accessable as possibly for eveyone regardless of whether the concern is physical or mental.

There is informaton below on each of the venues. At the main venue, Richmix, and at Freedom we will provide a traffic light lanyard system which we've found is helpful for a varity of people, such as people with autism, social anxiety, or speech issues. We ask that everyone present read the signage regarding this traffic light system on the way in and respect it's use during the event.

This information here is from 2023 and should be considered a guide to 2024 tho specific may change.

If you need assistance getting between venues we have some funds available for people to get cabs, please drop us a line before hand to arrange: anarchistbookfairlondon [at] riseup.net.

If you have any other requests or comments, please let us know  anarchistbookfairlondon(at)riseup.net. We welcome feedback and will do our best to meet any requests. Accessibility is a journey not a destination and we want to keep moving in the right direction. 

CROWDS:

The bookfair is a huge event and one which is split between six venues. Last year the Zine fair at Freedom Bookshop was particularly busy and if this is a highlight for you we suggest stopping by earlier in the day. The collective and the volunteers will be making every effort to make sure everyone has a safe and productive day however if you have personal, physical or mental health considerations, it's best to plan ahead! 

Remember though, Anarchism is about collective responsibility and bookfair goers are equally responsible for each-others’ safety at the bookfair so be pro-active and look out for each other!

COVID:

We will have masks and hand sanitiser available. If you have any covid symptoms please stay at home.

BSL:

We have had issues previously with establishing sign language at the Bookfair, this is due to multiple factors. We will try our best to improve on this next year.

If you are able to help with this, please get in contact: anarchistbookfairlondon [at] riseup.net
