Events/Meetings

At present there are no upcoming events... Please check again soon!

We organised many events in venues around Nottingham since we opened in December 2008 and the list below is not comprehensive. Other subjects covered included e.g. Anarchism in post-Soviet Russia and Eastern Europe, Anti-Fascism in Greece, the 140th Anniversary of the Anti-Authoritarian International and Anarchist writers in the nineteenth century.

Sadly many reports on these events went offline with the old Notts Indymedia website (thanks for the local Indymedia collective who kept this once vital resource going for so many years!).
