Join us for a panel discussion to celebrate the centenary of the 1926 Women’s Peace Pilgrimage.
 
In the summer of 1926, tens of thousands of women across the United Kingdom marched to the centre of London under the banner ‘Law not War’, urging the British government to commit to international arbitration and universal disarmament. These peace pioneers walked through villages and towns, organising over a thousand meetings and rallies along the way to share their vision of a warless world.
 
Learn about the extraordinary history of the Peace Pilgrimage in a Welsh context as we hear contributions from our panellists Dr Siân Rhiannon Williams, Angharad Tomos and Anna Jane Evans on the history of the north Wales march – by far the biggest contingent of the Pilgrimage; the hidden histories of the lesser-known south Wales route to London and, finally, the importance of remembering and realising the aspirations of the Pilgrimage today.
