    May 6th: Bristol Radical History Fair

    Princes Wharf, Wapping Rd, Bristol BS1 4RN

    2018 marks the anniversaries of two of the most significant historical moments in the 20th Century. The First World War ended in 1918. This centenary will see  the Remembering the Real World War One history group examining the realities of the human catastrophe and challenging the militarism celebrated in ‘official’ accounts. May 2018 also marks the fiftieth anniversary of the May 1968 events. These signalled the rise of the counter-culture and emergence of the new social movements that continue to define cultural and political debates. The Bread, Print and Roses Collective will revisit the 1960s by coordinating a ‘free university’ to discuss their significance in the present day.

    May 12th: Bristol Anarchist Bookfair
