Smash the Looms: Luddites Day
A session of performances and walking tours exploring Luddites’ histories in Nottingham. We will be following the footsteps of the Luddites, between 1811 and 1818. Through spoken word, contemporary songs and written accounts we shall explore this movement of resistance by working class people in the town. Visiting sites which are part of this story.
Toilet facilities are available at Nottingham Contemporary at the start and finish of the walk or at Broadway in Broad St (if you are a customer).
The walk of about 2 Miles will last up to 2 hours. The walk is on pavements with no steps although there are some short hills and pavement edges to navigate.
