Radical Book Fair 2026

Saturday 30 May, 12 to 5 pm

Teachers’ Club, Parnell Square, Dublin

Books, zines, clothing swap, exhibitions, poetry, art, campaign groups and workshops all under one tent; the Radical Bookfair promises to be a fun and exciting part of 2026’s cultural and political calendar - don’t miss out!

Books, magazines & campaign groups

See below for information on booking a space for your stall!

In the main hall, we will have big book stalls from a wide array of left-wing publishers, magazines and media projects, as well as stalls from different union and campaign groups.

Clothing Swap

For the first time, Radical Bookfair will feature a clothing swap - a fun alternative to fast-fashion. More details to come…

Talks, workshops & more

In addition, we will have separate meeting rooms with talks and interactive sessions.

The John Molyneux Talk

The John Molyneux Talk is organised in honour of the late John Molyneux (1948-2022) - writer, activist, founder of the Global Ecosocialist Network, and member of People Before Profit and the Socialist Workers Network.

These talks will provide an opportunity for important ecosocialist thinkers and activists to talk about their work and ideas. 

Free entry

This event will be free to attend. We will have a small raffle on the day to help us cover costs, and donations are welcome!
