So, I am going into this year a little bit nervous. I loved last year, and I think that the core team were faced with a tough task of making this year better. But we have had some help. With its prominent space on Lewes high street and iconic red facade, you won’t be able to miss this antiquarian bookshop full of rare and fine books. Spanning most genres, the owners Ric Latham and Jonathan Menezes are very helpful if you’re looking for more information or need something special found. We can offer a wide range of management services and parking solutions for your car park, ranging from Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems and barriers, to enforcement and patrolling. Almost all our events were sold out. We had the most diverse line-up that I have ever seen in a festival, and I was an event manager for 15 years. But the highlight for me was how many people came that had never been to a book festival before.When you stumble upon a big, beefy Oxfam Bookshop, it’s a very exciting occasion. And the Oxfam Bookshop in Brighton is certainly that. Another Hove bookshop, The Book Nook is a specialist bookshop that sells a wide range of children’s books. An adorable bookshop requires a delightful name, and The Book Nook is certainly that. This was taken onboard by our excellent waiter and a main course plus dessert were delivered in good time.

The Brighton Book Club | Meetup

So, we have a whole evening on 22 nd June dedicated to Windrush. We have food, DJ, an exhibition, actors and of course authors. But truly the VIP guests will be our senior Caribbean citizens who will be telling their stories of triumphs and heartbreaks for that time. As a Windrush descendant this event sits close to my heart and my own dad and mum will be among the VIPs. I know that the book festival will be a delight for all of the attendees, but for those who cannot make it, I hope it will make you see marginalised people, advocate for them, make space for them and remind you to be the change that you want to see. Located in Hove, City Books proudly calls itself “Brighton and Hove’s Largest and Liveliest Independent Bookshop”. It’s very hard to argue with that, and why would you want to? A recent addition to the Brighton bookshop scene, opeing in 2019 thanks to a sucessful crowdfunding campaign meant the owner Ruth could convert her living room into what is now The Feminist Bookshop. The staff at Dave’s are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Whether you’re a connoisseur or a newbie in the world of comics and manga, they can help you out, make suggestions, and offer some enthusiastic conversation.With the south-coastal city of Brighton being a hub of UK art and culture, as well as a loudly and proudly queer city, it’s no wonder that so many independent bookshops can be found in the wonderful city of Brighton. Not enough praise is lavished on Oxfam Bookshops (and UK charity shops in general) for the good they do for readers and the literary world. Dave’s Comics is one of the most essential and welcoming Brighton bookshops, and a shop bursting with joy and good energy. Goldsboro Books Much like the Oxfam Bookshop, the Amnesty Bookshop is another series of second-hand bookshops around the UK. You’ll find them in Cambridge, Bristol, Norwich, and, of course, Brighton.
