Event | A celebration of the Peterloo 2019 programme

Join us for a social gathering to mark the end (almost) of the Peterloo 2019 commemorations.  Enjoy displays of materials and images generated by the various events, free refreshments, and launch or post-launch parties for the summer’s new Peterloo books:

• Nick Mansfield, Soldiers As Citizens – Popular Politics and the Nineteenth Century British Military
• Robert Poole, Peterloo: the English Uprising
• Alison Morgan, Ballads and Songs of Peterloo
• Polyp/Schlunke/Poole, Peterloo: Witnesses to a Massacre, along with the newly released version for use in schools

There will be short presentations about each by the authors and signed copies will be available.  Please also bring posters, leaflets, programmes, recordings and souvenirs to add to the displays – and perhaps to PHM’s collections.

Suitable for all ages
