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 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 14:45, leaving loads of time for networking and stall browsing.
