London Book Fair

The London Book Fair is held every April at Olympia London and is the global meeting place for the book trade. Publishers, literary agents, rights managers, and book retailers from across the world attend to negotiate deals, launch new titles, and meet international partners.

The show is meeting-focused. Most activity happens in scheduled one-to-one sessions, so stand layouts are built around seating and meeting areas rather than product display. Publisher stands typically have multiple table-and-chair setups to handle back-to-back rights meetings throughout the day.

Expo Hire hires meeting furniture to London Book Fair exhibitors. Meeting tables and chairs are the core requirement, along with side tables and display furniture for showcasing catalogues and advance reading copies. Poseur tables at the stand's front can draw in passing trade before visitors move to the formal meeting area.

For stands with on-stand hospitality, we supply catering equipment and glassware for tea, coffee, and drinks receptions for international guests.

We deliver direct to Olympia London and collect after the show closes. The fair runs for three days and is one of the busiest periods at Olympia each year. Book early to confirm availability. Contact Expo Hire to discuss your stand furniture for London Book Fair.
