Annual local history book fair

The Annual Local History Book Fair returns to Swansea Museum on Saturday 7 November, from 10:00am to 4:00pm. It's a regular on the city's cultural calendar, and this year it's back in the same spot it usually calls home.

The fair is run by the Royal Institution of South Wales (RISW), which has kept up a nearly unbroken tradition of putting on talks and events for its members and the public since 1835. Their programme runs from September each year through to May, and the book fair is one of its fixtures. It's the kind of event that brings together people with a shared interest in the stories and records of the area, and it's held within the museum itself, so you're in the right place for it.

Among the stalls, the British Association for Local History (BALH) will have a stand with its own publications on sale. If you can't make it on the day, those same titles are available through their online shop, so you can still pick them up later. Refreshments will be available on the day, which is handy if you're planning to spend a good while browsing the tables.

It's free of charge to attend, and it runs from 10:00am to 4:00pm on Saturday 7 November at Swansea Museum (Amgueddfa Abertawe).
