This year's Baddesley Bookfair was a great success.
Held in July and August over three weeks instead of the usual two, the Baddesley Bookfair raised over £15,000 - far exceeding expectations.
The team of volunteers and staff running the event had to battle some difficult weather, not least high winds which threatened to blow the marquees away! They certainly have our thanks for helping to make the Bookfair such a success. We must also thank all those visitors who came along and bought the books.
Every penny raised will go directly to conservation and maintenance at Baddesley and is invaluable in supporting the work we do.
