Peterloo 2019 Anniversary Weekend

Peterloo 2019 Anniversary Weekend

Exactly 200 years on, just as the people protesting at Peterloo on 16 August 1819 came together, so too will the people remembering those who lost their lives, were injured or were there to seek rights and representation on this historic day.

From Friday 16 – Sunday 18 August there will be Peterloo 2019 activities taking place across Greater Manchester to mark the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo Massacre.
