This year we are not only returning to Trinity for the first time since 2017, but we're taking over back to not only Trinity (for the first time in nine years), but taking over the whole area!

Events are being held at Exchange, Trinity, East Bristol Books, L'etoile, and the Quaker Central Meeting House. Kids-space and crèche available at Trinity!

These spaces will play host to dozens of stalls, talks, panels, art, interactive workshops, a library in a bus and more.

Come along and discover thousands upon thousands of books and zines on everything from direct action, anti-capitalism, climate justice, feminism, decolonisation, workers rights, anti-fascism, war, peace, and building a better world, together.

Finda wide range of perspectives from people sharing insights on everything from cyber security, rewilding, and mental wellbeing to organising a union, and actively dismantling systems of power and oppression, at work, at home, and in the state. Learn how to organise protests, mutual aid networks, and form a shield wall. 

Whether you are a seasoned anarchist or just dipping your toes in to radical politics to see what it’s all about, you can expect a warm, family friendly atmosphere, with folk from all walks of life having a thousand discussions, building new links, strengthening old ones and discovering new possibilities and hope for a brighter future.
