Patriots, volunteers and scabs

For nine days in 1926, the country ground to a halt as over four million workers downed tools in support of the miners.

A two-hour walk from Kingsley Hall on Old Market Street via the centre ending at the St James Barton – Bear Pit.

Start point: Hydra Books, opposite Kingsley Hall, Old Market Street, Bristol BS2 OHP.

Booking is required for this walk.

This walk is also taking place on Sunday 26 April and Sunday 3 May.
