Levellers Day 2025
Theme: Confronting Poverty and Inequality
Levellers Day is taking place on Saturday 17th May 2025. Its our 50th anniversary this year. Levellers Day is an annual commemoration that marks the death of three soldiers belonging to the Levellers, a radical movement that emerged during the English Revolution. I should be able to get a poster to you in due course. Over the years we have welcome a number of high-profile historians such as Christopher Hill and E. P. Thompson and more recently the likes of Ann Hughes, Laura Stewart and Mike Braddick.
The event will be taking place on Saturday 17th May 2025 at Warwick Hall, Burford from 10:30-16:30. This year’s theme is Confronting Inequality and Poverty. We’re excited to be welcoming historians Dr John Rees (Goldsmiths, University of London and Jonathan Healey (University of Oxford) for our historical working tour. Speaking at the event will also be Sam Gurney (TUC LESE regional secretary), Sarah Woolley (General secretary of the Bakers Food and Allied Workers Union), Professor Danny Dorling (Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography, University of Oxford) and Reverend Canon Professor Mark Chapman.
