PEOPLE'S Assembly Newcastle

Join with hundreds of others and develop a people’s manifesto for Newcastle. 

On Sunday 18^th May hundreds of people will assemble in Newcastle’s Discovery Museum. There will be stalls and short films from local campaign groups, and keynote speakers. Most of the event will be in discussions where your voice will be heard, feeding into a people’s manifesto.

Doors open 11:30 and the Assembly session starts at 12:00. We are aiming to finish the Assembly at around 2pm, leaving loads of time for networking and stall browsing.

campaign groups

We are offering a free stall to any progressive campaign group and inviting them to make a 60-second video to be shown at the start of the assembly.  No fancy graphics needed – home made and rough around the edges selfie video is ideal. If your campaign group would like to book a stall and possibly make a video email us for more information HERE.

Information for stallholders

If you've made a short video please email or file transfer to admin@majorityuk.org.

You need to arrive and set up from 11am before the doors open for attendee registration at 11.30am. Tables are provided but will not be allocated in advance so it's first come first choice.
