Lifeline Central West Christmas Book Fair

🎄 Lifeline Central West Christmas Book Fair – Bathurst 2025 🎄

The countdown to Christmas is on, and so is our four-day Christmas Book Fair at the Bathurst Showground! Come along for festive fun, bargain books, and the chance to make a life-saving difference in your community.

✨ Highlights:

• Gold coin entry – affordable for everyone.

• Tens of thousands of books – fiction, non-fiction, children’s, lifestyle, history, cookbooks, rare finds & more.

• Free family Christmas photo with Santa – a festive keepsake to take home.

• Holiday shopping made easy – stock up on Christmas gifts and summer reading at bargain prices.

• Cafe on Corporation coffee van – coffee & treats to fuel your treasure hunt.

• Sustainable shopping – save money, save books from landfill, and help Lifeline save lives.

💙 Why it Matters
Every dollar you spend and every donation you make supports our Together for Life strategy — strengthening crisis support, suicide prevention, and rapid-response outreach across our region. Proceeds from the Book Fair also fund the training of new Lifeline volunteers through Crisis Support Worker Training (CSWT), ensuring more local people are equipped to answer calls and provide life-saving support.

📍 Bathurst Showground
Great Western Highway / Kendall Avenue, Bathurst
(Main gate entry. Free onsite parking, toilets and seating available.)

So bring a bag … or a sleigh … and enjoy four festive days of book bargains and community spirit.
