In conversation with the past: Sheffield's Humanist Heritage

This special 'in conversation' event features Madeleine Goodall, Humanist Heritage Manager at Humanists UK, and Glenn Lawrence, Coordinator of Sheffield Humanists, co-creators of Sheffield's Humanist Heritage walking tour.

Together, they'll introduce some of the stories of the remarkable people and movements that connect Sheffield to the wider history of humanism in the UK.

Discover the Chartists who gathered in their thousands in Paradise Square to demand universal suffrage, the radical publishers who risked imprisonment for selling the works of Thomas Paine, and the founders of the Sheffield Ethical Society in 1903, a key forerunner of today's humanist groups.

This engaging dialogue will bring to life the freethinkers, activists, and reformers who dared to challenge the status quo and shape a more secular and ethical world, right here in Sheffield.

Don't miss this chance to explore the city's incredible humanist heritage.

All are welcome.
