Antiquarian Book Fairs Summer 2022: UK Edition

Although the book fairs in London tend to receive the most attention, there are many more around the UK run under the auspices of the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association (PBFA).
 
Each is of course unique, but generally you can expect all of them to offer secondhand and antiquarian books, literary ephemera, maps, and prints, at a range of prices and featuring dealers from around the country. Some also hold events with local authors.
 
Here are the main ones coming up over the next six months. Even if you have visited them before, please do check the venue details as several of the fairs have moved to new locations for 2022:
