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 10 May.
