  • Refreshments available

On June 9th 1817 about 200 workers armed themselves and marched towards Nottingham, believing they were part of a national uprising to bring down the government and improve their poverty-stricken lives. They were betrayed by a government spy and agent provocateur, arrested and some were subsequently executed or transported to Australia, with many thrown out of their homes.

The meeting will be followed by a guided walk through the beautiful local countryside (or short route through the picturesque village) seeing historic landmarks from the uprising.
