UPDATE:

We would like to let you know that from 1st January 2026 Tynemouth Station Book Fair will be managed by North Tyneside Art Studio (NTAS).
NTAS has for many years provided the artwork in the Bridge Gallery at Tynemouth Station and has been a key beneficiary of the proceeds of the Book Fair. This follows a highly successful period of organisation by The Linskill Centre, whose hard work, commitment, and professionalism have been instrumental in strengthening and growing the Fair. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Linskill Centre Team, including Simeon, Melanie, Sara and Jen for their support and guidance over the last few years.
NTAS is delighted to build on that success and continue developing this much-loved community event. The transition marks a natural next step, recognising the long-standing relationship between the Book Fairs and NTAS, and celebrating the creative roots of the Friends of Tynemouth Station, whose efforts to develop the Station as a vibrant, creative hub we all enjoy today. Apart from a few technical adjustments behind the scenes and payment provisions, we’re confident this handover will be smooth and cause minimal disruption to stall holders and visitors.
We deeply appreciate the ongoing effort and enthusiasm of everyone who contributes to making the Tynemouth Station Book Fairs such a success, and we look forward to working with you as the next chapter begins.
Warm regards,
The Linskill Centre, North Tyneside Art Studio and Tynemouth Station Book Fair

DO YOU HAVE TOO MANY BOOKS?


WHY NOT TAKE A ONE-OFF STALL AT THE BOOK FAIR YOURSELF
AND RAISE SOME MUCH-NEEDED EXTRA MONEY (TO BUY MORE BOOKS!)

People at the Fairs often say to us " Oh, I shouldn't buy any more books!", but then, fortunately for us, they do anyway!
Why not de-clutter your own collection to make room for new additions by trying a stall at the Book Fair yourself?.
It's only £35, it's great fun, you get to meet lots of lovely book-minded people, AND you can cash in on your unwanted titles.
We can advise you on how to present your stall and what you'll need to bring. Give it a try - you might just get hooked and join the Tynemouth Station Book Fair family.
Contact Debbie to book a stall or for any queries on what you might need to get the best out of the day.
EARLY BOOKING IS BEST, BUT STALLS CAN SOMETIMES BE HAD AT QUITE SHORT NOTICE.

Our next Fair will take place on the 28th June 2026.
