BRHG will be taking it’s Book Stall to Trinity Centre on bank holiday Sunday, 28 August, 11am to 4pm, for the all new Bristol Alternative Market.
The Market is described on it’s FB event as:
A Wonderful new event for Bristol’s Alternative community! An inclusive space for everyone. 80 booked traders set in a gorgeous Gothic community owned venue.
The stalls will cover a diverse range, including:
- Clothes – new, pre-loved, reworked, vintage
- Books – radical, gothic, vintage, alternative health, anime, manga, graphic novels
- Jewellery – handmade, quirky, gothic
- Household items – gemstones, incense, quirky toiletries
- Music and work from local artists
BRHG will be tempting visitors with our range of self-published pamphlets and books on Bristol’s radical history, along with some other seditious offerings. Come and find us on the ground floor at Trinity, to the left of the stage.
Entry to the Market is free, but donations are welcomed – which will be passed to local charities.
The BRHG stall will also be out and about at a series of events we are organising in Bedminster and south Bristol in September and October – see our Events Diary. Plus on Sunday 25 September we’ll be back at the Exchange on Old Market for the next Bristol Radical Bookfair.

No I am not glad the statue was pulled down in Bristol it is part of our history like or not you can’t chose to only remember good people in history other wise the bad things people dune will be forgotten and so will the victims

Philip, you are rather off-topic with your reply to this post?
BRHG has consistently argued that the memorialisation & glorification of Colston – including that statue – should be removed to a museum or similar place, where Colston’s role as a profiteering slave-trader in the 17th & 18th centuries could be contextualised as a part of the history of that period. That is not the erasue of history be it good or bad. Colston’s recent removal to, and display in, the M Shed has been a part of the telling of the whole truth about Colston, and not just the ‘nice bits’ his friends and cheerleaders wanted us to know.. Everyone now knows about his role in the barbaric transatlantic slave trade, and that’s a good thing.
