The largest Charity Book fair in Wales is held at Bridgend YMCA, Angel Street, Bridgend over 3 days in March/April of each year. The next Book Fair is being held from the 2nd to the 4th March 2012.

The 2011 Book Fair took place from the 4th - 6th March 2011 at which we raised almost £9,000.

There are literally thousands of books covering all kinds of fiction, non-fiction and children's categories. All books are in good condition and very competitively priced. This event started in 1994 when a profit of nearly £1,000 was raised over the three days. Both the numbers attending and quantity of Books have increased steadily over the intervening years until in recent years over 25,000 books have been available for sale generating a massive £150,000 since 1994 for good causes.

The club maintain a mailing list of regular attendees, which include both members of the public and book dealers. To be added to the list, simply contact us using the details on our contact page and we will add you to the list to ensure that you do not miss out on future Book Fairs. (For the purposes of the Data Protection Act, your details will not be passed on to third parties and will be used solely for the purposes of the Lions Book Fair).

All our books are donated by the general public. If you would like to contribute, please see our Books Wanted page for further details of delivery and collection arrangements. Or use our Contact page to arrange collection.
