We invite you to our popular guided walk on Saturday 9th August, 2pm.

Agitating the Lawless Rabble

Sat 9th Aug 2025 2pm

Starting at the Left Lion (Council House), ending on Heathcoat Street (back of Broadway Cinema).

Free Event. No need to register, just turn up.

Duration about one hour, route wheelchair accessible (but there are some hills along the way).

Featuring lots of original documents and Flying Faux Custard Pies!

In this guided walk around Nottingham City Centre, we will be exploring some episodes related to Nottingham’s proud tradition of independent bookshops and radical publishing.

Utilising primary sources, we will listen to the echoes of incredible people’s voices and remember some of their courageous struggles, from Susannah Wright defending her bookshop against riled up bigots in the 1820s to the community papers which fuelled grassroots resistance to the Poll Tax in the late 1980s and 1990s.

An exhibition of photographs and local campaign materials at Broadway Cinema.

21st to 24th Sep 2023 – Free Event.

After the original slot could not go ahead due to a power outage at Broadway, we are very glad that new dates have now been confirmed!

Sadly the our photo exhibition ‘Regime Change Starts At Home’ WON’T happen this weekend.

Broadway Cinema continues to be closed at this time as they are working to resolve a nasty tech issue and we have arranged to postpone the exhibition till later in the year (dates TBC soon).

Apologies to all, and thank everyone at Broadway Cinema so much for their generous support with this project, so very sorry they have to deal with this tech-nightmare, even more while it’s perfect cinema weather.

Broadway is an amazing place and we urge you all to support them however you can. As soon as they reopen go to see films, take part in film courses, eat and drink!

Please keep an eye out for the new dates.

Our new free Guided History Walk is STILL ON this Sun 16/07 2pm Left Lion!

Hope to see you there, watch out for Flying Faux Custard Pies. No need to register, just turn up.
