School Book Fairs

Why book a Boggledybook book fair? 

Boggledybook is a multi award winning independent children’s bookshop on a mission to promote literacy by making affordable books more accessible. We’re passionate about sharing our love of reading, so all of our brand new books are just £1, £2 or £3 each.

Since our launch in 2018 we’ve popped up with our hassle free book fair at schools in and around South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire and North Lincolnshire. We’ve had great feedback from everywhere we’ve visited and most schools go on to book further book fairs with us.

Children love our wide range of fiction and non-fiction titles to choose from, grown ups like our affordable prices and schools like that they can promote reading while we do all of the work. We also donate FREE BOOKS to all host schools!

With a Boggledybook school book fair:
  • No charge for booking a visit
  • No work for teachers- we can come for the day, or a morning/afternoon only for smaller schools (please allow 30 minutes set up time plus 15 minutes for each class to visit)
  • We bring everything we need and we do all of the work on the day
  • Our wide range of fiction & non-fiction titles is sourced from a variety of publishers and there’s no ordering and waiting for books to arrive
  • Fantastic books for little readers to choose from at great prices for parents - all of our brand new books are just £1, £2 or £3, meaning more children get to go home with a new book!
  • Great for helping little ones learn about money and shopping 
  • Did we mention free books? A free book to school for every 10 collectively sold! We keep track of sales on the day and before we pack up you can choose your free books for school as a thank you for hosting us
