The Little Anarchist Bookshop is a summer festival feature brought to Doncaster… in the winter!
Step off the street and into the woods this winter.
This December and January, artist, poet and horticulturist Terry Hudson, brings the magic of a woodland to Doncaster city-centre through an immersive installation.
Evergreen branches growing from the walls, leaf litter, moss and twigs crunching underfoot - take a breath of heavily oxygenated pine fresh air and listen to the sounds of birdsong overhead.
Something of a breath of fresh air himself, Terry is a champion of the ethical British summer festival, educating communities about woodland preservation through fire circles, wood craft workshops, and in turn, preserving our sanity.
Coffee pot on the boil, Terry will be sharing his personal library of books classics, philosophy and anarchist literature. Come and learn more about the collection, hear more from Terry about his ethical hacktivism, his involvement with Doncaster’s DIY festival scene, and a colourful lifetime lived by the Reuse, Reduce, Recycle mantra.
There are many contradictions about our modern world, and we all want to do our bit, as Terry puts it:
We’ll be reading, chatting, figuring things out, there will be workshops, discussion, readings, poetry and art. Workshops are just that, I am seeking answers, come along and help me out.
A salute to the revolutionary speakeasies, coffee shops and tea rooms, and a time when land ownership, direct relationships to nurturing and creating seemed simple, Anarchist Bookshop will be an evolving site for conversation, learning and itself an evolving art installation.
Over seven cold weeks, Terry will be delivering a range of activities. Choose a conversation topic from the Conversation Menu or come along to one of the free workshops, expect:
Terry’s personal library of classics, philosophy & anarchist lit
Conversations, workshops, readings & poetry
Ethical festival culture, DIY craft, off-grid know-how
Zine-making, self-publishing, Raspberry Pi basics & more

The little Anarchist bookshop is a feature of a festival In English Summer woodland Where the ethos isn’t capital Writing silly rhymes That are always counter cultural Expounding for a society That is fair, honest, and Mutual A tiny little bookcase made from rubbish on the grounds Reading, Raps, Music, Chats or just to hang around A place where revolution isn’t what we wish A place where revolution already exists
