Book Fairs in England?

[musik]

Are there any book fairs in England? When during the year and where? In Sweden we have about 40 yearly, some of them big, some smaller.

Abroad I'm only familiar with the one in Frankfurt..

I wrote once I was about to see Greta Thunberg at a Book Fair, the biggest in Sweden. I don't remember why, but I didn't go. Maybe I got sick or something.

This year I have decided not to go for a simple reason. They have increased the entrance ticket price by 600%!

What's the ticket price for such an event in England?

Haye on Wye festival is probably most prestigious

Haye on Wye is technically in Wales being just over the border.

There are scores of bookshops so you can go any day but towards the weekend is best as quite a few owners don't open early in the week. 

The are bookshops for all tastes and all sizes,  the biggest being a converted cinema! Most of the buildings are very old.

Hereford is a good place to stay and visit the Cathedral which has the Mappe Munde and a chain library. There is the "black and white tour" which is loads of old Tudor thatched cottage villages. The Wye Valley is beautiful. My father was from Ross on Wye.
