The 6th annual Bristol Radical History Festival has expanded to two days over the weekend of 20-21 April. The festival is hosted by two excellent Bristol venues, M Shed, the social history museum on the city’s historic harbourside and the Cube Microplex the volunteer-run Arts centre and cinema. Across two days and four themes, there will be talks, walks, exhibitions, stalls, and the never less than uplifting Red Notes choir.

The themes are:

• War Zones: Bristolians who went to struggle for a better world
• Workhouses & Madhouses: Histories of mental health & social care in Bristol
• Making History: DIY guides to creating ‘history from below’
• Republicans & Revolutionaries: BRHG goes international
