HIROSHIMA-NAGASAKI PEACE GATHERING 2024
Reserve the dates of Tuesday 6th until Friday 9th August in your diaries.
Bristol will be marking the anniversary of the use of atomic bombs on Japan in 1945. Join the “die-ins” in the Peace Grove in Castle Park at the exact times the bombs were dropped. We also organise a program of talks and workshops – a four-day event of this kind is probably unique in the UK!

Join us at the OPENING RALLY and stay for the workshops – there’s a wealth of information to be exchanged between local groups and campaigners. In addition, each of the four days concludes with a DROP-IN Q&A – a chance to hear guest speakers and to engage further on the topics from the workshops.
We’re working on a new idea of three FOOD & FILM evenings at the ARC in Broad Street nearby but not quite sorted yet. These will be announced online shortly.
With the genocide in Gaza, continuing war in Ukraine, the threat of US nukes returning to Lakenheath, plus accelerating climate change, it is all the more important we examine these issues and help build an alternative vision of a world that’s peaceful, just, and sustainable for everyone.
