The Parliamentary Archives and the History of Parliament Trust invite you to a special public event marking the bicentenary of the Peterloo Massacre and the opening of a new exhibition on ‘Parliament & Peterloo’.
 
'Remembering Peterloo: protest, satire and reform' will examine the latest research on Peterloo with a panel of three leading scholars.
 
Dr Robert Poole, University of Central Lancashire, will discuss Peterloo and its political context; Professor Ian Haywood, University of Roehampton, will consider Peterloo and its place in nineteenth-century caricature and satire; and Dr Katrina Navickas, University of Hertfordshire, will reflect on the political legacy of Peterloo. There will be opportunities for wider discussion between panellists and the audience.
 
'Parliament & Peterloo' is a free exhibition located in Westminster Hall. The exhibition is open to the public from the 4 July to 26 September. Attendees are welcome to view the exhibition either before or after the talks.
