A History of Land Rights

Tue 21 May, 7pm – 10pm

Tickets: £10

For the bicentenary of Peterloo, Whalley Range for Peace and Justice present – in addition to the annual ‘Write for Rights’ event- a performance by Three Acres and a Cow examining Land Rights in the U.K.

Three Acres and a Cow connects the Norman Conquest and Peasants’ Revolt with Brexit, fracking and our housing crisis via the Enclosures, English Civil War, Irish Land League and Industrial Revolution. The show draws a compelling narrative through the people’s history of England in folk song, story and poem.

Part TED talk, part history lecture, part folk club sing-a-long, part poetry slam, part storytelling session… Come and share in these tales as they have been shared for generations.
