Stalls
Who you’ll find at the tables.
A growing list of the presses, distros, artists and projects sharing tables this year. Tables are free (donations welcome) and priority goes to anarchist and local activist projects.
ACORN the Union
Community UnionWe are Cambridge's branch of ACORN the Union - a national and international community union of low income and working class people standing up for our rights as tenants and campaigning for better living standards in our communities. When landlords neglect and abuse their tenants, when bailiffs threaten and terrorise vulnerable people for the crime of being in debt, and when our public services are underfunded and cut, we organise, we petition, we march, we picket, we occupy, and we win. We've won back stolen deposits. We've won eviction resistances and kept members in their homes. We've won campaigns to reopen public toilets and bring busses back under public control. We won when we shut down TSB banks to force them to change their mortgage policy. And we were part of the coalition that won the Renters Rights Act. And we're not done winning. Because we're not waiting for a political cavalry to ride in and save us from the cost of living crisis. We're taking the fight to the greed and inequality that got us into it in the first place. If you want to stand up for your friends, stand up for your neighbours, and stand up for yourself, then join ACORN, take action, and let's take what's ours!
Anarchist Communist Group (ACG)
Anarchist Communist OrganisationThe Anarchist Communist Group (ACG) is a revolutionary class struggle organisation, and was set up in February 2018. We are a revolutionary anarchist communist organisation made up of local groups and individuals who seek a complete transformation of society, and the creation of anarchist communism. This will mean the working class overthrowing capitalism, abolishing the State, getting rid of exploitation, hierarchies and oppressions, and halting the destruction of the environment.
Anarchist Federation (AF)
Anarchist OrganisationThe AF believe that in order to get from our current society to a world free of exploitation and oppression there is a need for revolutionary organisations. This is the basis of the Anarchist Federation. We are committed to building an effective organisation which has a collective identity and works towards the common goal of anarchist communism.
CAA (Cambridge Anarchist Assembly)
Anarchist Mutual Aid GroupWe are a horizontal organisation actively engaged in direct action, mutual aid, radical unions, workshops, bookfairs, permaculture, and more ❤️🖤

Circle-A Studios

East Anglia Earth First!
Environmental LiberationThe general principles behind Earth First! are non-hierarchical organisation and the use of direct action to confront, stop and eventually reverse the forces that are responsible for the destruction of the Earth and its inhabitants. EF! is not a cohesive group or campaign, but a convenient banner for people who share similar philosophies to work under.
Freedom Press

MOTH Cambridge

ORCA (Organisation of Radical Cambridge Activists)
Environmental LiberationORCA are a group based in Cambridge who are committed to environmental action and social justice. We understand that social and environmental issues are inextricably linked, and aim to be intersectional in our approach. We are primarily focused on local causes where we can make (and have made!) a real impact by putting pressure on those with power–such as the University of Cambridge and their subsidiary organisations. We also aim to raise awareness of systemic issues such as greenwashing, and the growing threat of eco-fascist thought. We have no hierarchy or formal ‘roles’, and welcome contributions and ideas from all members no matter their experience or knowledge. We are a primarily (although not strictly) youth-led movement, and have a large number of neurodiverse, trans, and queer members.
Radical Routes
Coop Mutual Aid NetworkRadical Routes is a UK wide mutual aid network building collective power and autonomy through housing and worker coops and participatory education. We have been operating for over 35 years, and currently constitute more than 40 member coops from across the UK. If you are interested in practical tools and resources to build autonomy and power and reduce reliance on the exploitative systems we live under, please come by and find ways to get involved!
Ragin Zine
ZineCreator and Editor of Ragin Zine, Helen Cross, will have a selection of zines she has published over the past year for your perusal. Ragin was born of a desire to challenge the culture of hatred and division whipped up by the tech bro billionaires. It is a traditional cut n paste DIY zine. Pay what you feel or swaps encouraged. You can also come and make your own zine or contribute to the next issue of Ragin.
Rupture Distro
DistroThe passion for freedom, as well as the firmness to refuse any attempt to commercialise it, has led us to create this space to host a catalogue of books by different anarchist publishers. Written or translated, edited, and printed autonomously, these publications aim to give a concrete and coherent reference to the analyses, history, struggles, and experiences that have – and continue to – nourish our anarchist projectuality.
Seditionist Distribution
DistroSeditionists need materials. We aim to provide them. No Profit. No Bosses.
Socialist Party of Great Britain (London Branch)
Socialist PartyWhat We Want? A moneyless, stateless, classless society of common ownership and democratic control of the world's resources. Production solely for human need, not profit. No wages, no money, no markets, no governments as we know them. How We Get There? Not through vanguards, coups, or insurrection. Through a majority of the working class consciously choosing socialism via democratically. Parliament isn't the goal, it's the mechanism. The working class takes control of the state machinery, converts it from "instrument of oppression" to "agent of emancipation," to abolish it. What We Reject? - Reformism: No palliatives, no "making capitalism nicer." Every reform leaves the system intact. - Leninism: No vanguard party, no dictatorship of the proletariat, no "transitional period." - Nationalisation: State ownership isn't socialism—it's just state capitalism. - All other parties: Labour, Greens, Communists, Trotskyists—all administer capitalism in one form or another. Our Core Insight Capitalism cannot be reformed into socialism. You can't regulate greed into generosity. The system's basic drive—accumulation of capital—makes ecological destruction, inequality, and war inevitable. Only abolishing the system itself works. Our Method Education and propaganda. No stunts, no violence, no shortcuts. We believe workers must understand and want socialism before it can work. A socialist society run by people who don't understand socialism would collapse or be captured by authoritarians. Our Slogan "World Socialism or Nothing." The SPGB founded in 1904 is Marxism stripped of all the 20th-century add-ons: no Lenin, no Trotsky, no Stalin, no reformist gradualism. Just the original recipe: common ownership, majority consciousness, democratic revolution, then freedom.
Suffolk Anarchists
