Established for 25 years, a popular fair with books for collectors and general readers. Around 30 stands with exhibitors covering most subject areas with out of print and modern publications. Large free car park at the venue which is one minute drive from junction 1 of the M3 motorway, signposted. Refreshments available, easy access for wheel chairs.
I believe that there are no direct trains on Sunday from Waterloo to Kempton Park due to engineering works, but a bus replacement service. That is enough to prevent me from attending! - Nicholas 08.06.12.
