Since 2006 BRHG have organised over 500 events; staging walks, talks, gigs, recreations, films, and exhibitions. We also have several active research projects, and have published over 80 books and pamphlets.
BRHG is NOT funded by universities, political parties, business, or local government, we rely on our members giving their labour for free.
The Bristol Radical History Festival returns this Spring for its eighth edition, with panel discussions, films, history walks and exhibitions. This year’s event has four main themes: Propaganda, Utopias, Welsh history and the 1926 General Strike, a singular event that lasted nine days and brought Britain to a standstill.
The Eastville Workhouse Memorial Group have released new data transcribed from the workhouse death registers on more than 4,700 inmates who passed away between 1895 and 1914. These burials largely occurred in the private cemeteries Ridgeway Park and Arnos Vale and the municipal Greenbank cemetery. The full data and notes in pdf format can be downloaded here (for free of course!)
