Welcome to the Coexist events page. Here you can find out about some of the exciting things happening at Hamilton House this week...
Bristol Anarchist Bookfair 2010
23 August 2010
Saturday 11 September, from 10.30am to 6pm This year’s Bristol Bookfair will take place in the midst of the most serious crisis of capitalism for 80 years. The bookfair will provide a wide range of anarchist and radical literature, merchandise, ideas, history, debate, theory, meetings, workshops and films. We hope the event will provide a serious taster of anarchist ideas & practices to those people new to such ideas and looking for an alternative to the way. The bookfair also acts as a get together for existing anarchists & radicals - to debate, discuss, network, plot and plan, and of course socialise!

Pat Nicholson and friends
