Temporary Exhibition | What does peace mean to you?
2024-12-05 - 2025-01-05 | The Peace Museum, Salts Mill, Victoria Road, Saltaire, BD18 3LA, United Kingdom
For the Peace Museum‘s first temporary exhibition, they have been working with artist Lakhbir Sangha to create a series of four artworks inspired by the question: What does peace mean to you? Since opening in August, the first two artworks in this series have been on display.
The first is an interactive artwork which invites visitors to share their responses to what peace means to them. These answers have been written onto fabric scrolls and placed within a 3-D resin outline of the Bradford district for other visitors to read.
The second artwork ‘Going Green’ is a hand-knitted dress sculpture inspired by our relationship with nature. The work aims to provide a commentary on the complex relationship between us and our planet, along with the social and cultural aspects of climate change. It highlights the pressing need to consider and respond to the ongoing eco-crisis and safeguard future generations.
From Thursday 5th December, visitors will be able to see the final two new artworks that Lakhbir has been working on over the last few months. These artworks will both be inspired by and a response to visitors’ answers to the question: What does peace mean to you?
This exhibition will run into 2025.

This is a lot to take on, so the Lakenheath Alliance for Peace hope other groups will take the opportunity to join some of these vigils, using their time to look around the base, familiarize themselves with the layout of the base to ready themselves for future actions and perhaps to leaflet the surrounding villages and towns.
These will be at the main gate of RAF Lakenheath between 12noon and 2pm on the last Saturday of every month.
Contact vigils@lakenheathallianceforpeace.org.uk for more information.
A leaflet for the vigils can be downloaded here.

Don’t Bank on The Bomb – National Network Meeting
2025-02-25 18:30 - 20:00 | Online
Don’t Bank on the Bomb is a PAX project in conjunction with ICAN- the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. Join the first network meeting on Tuesday 25th February 2025 to hear from guests who will be speaking about their work on nuclear disarmament, and the incredible organising that has happened on nuclear divestment.

In a world ablaze with escalating conflicts, global instability, and worsening humanitarian crises, the threat of nuclear weapons to human life is mounting. And yet, every year, billions of pounds flow through UK banks, pension funds, and other financial institutions that invest in companies producing nuclear weapons, making the threat of nuclear war even more real.
At Don’t Bank on the Bomb UK, we are building a nationwide movement to pressure banks and financial institutions to withdraw their support for the nuclear weapons industry, by demanding they move their money away from companies that manufacture and trade in weapons of mass destruction.
Whether you’re an experienced activist or just learning about the issue, Don’t Bank on the Bomb UK is the perfect place to join others committed to building a safer, nuclear-free world.

Peace building in a world of conflict
2025-08-09 - 2025-08-15
“Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me”.
The Iona Community is committed through its Members to work for peace within our own communities and in the wider world. This is a challenging but all the more important time to be addressing such issues. During the week together on Iona they will, with experienced peace builders, explore what peace and security means in the local and wider context.
They will hear about tried and tested peacebuilding theories, strategies and initiatives in a variety of situations with speakers from the Fellowship of Reconciliation, Rethinking Security, Quaker peace work and Ulster University. This will give the opportunity to develop practical ideas which can then implement in our own circumstances and localities.
In addition to input and discussion sessions, workshops and creative opportunities the week will allow plenty of free time to explore the island.

As part of the actions to condemn Trump’s “shameful” state visit, join CND at Lakenheath to say loud and clear that neither he nor his nuclear bombs are welcome here!
“Evidence is clear that US nuclear weapons have arrived in Britain – at the Lakenheath NATO base in Suffolk. These deadly weapons make us all a target. And they increase the risk of Britain being dragged into Trump’s reckless wars.
The majority of the population totally understand how these nuclear weapons don’t make us safer. That’s why a majority oppose their deployment here in Britain.”

Gentle, Angry Women - Cornwall Premiere
2025-09-26 20:00 - 22:00 | Newlyn Filmhouse, 23-31 The Coombe, Newlyn, Cornwall, TR18 5HS, United Kingdom
Gentle, Angry Women, a film by Barbara Santi that was filmed during our 40th Anniversary recreation March from Cardiff to Greenham, will be premiered in Newlyn Filmhouse on the 26th September.
A new generation of young female activists awakens to a powerful, forgotten chapter of women’s history. As they navigate the complexities of teenage life and social activism, three young women – Poppy (16), Xanthe (17), and Evie (19) – discover the remarkable Greenham Common Women’s Peace Movement. The groundbreaking protest saw 30,000 women stand resolute against nuclear armament forty years earlier.
Their journey is an intimate intergenerational dialogue and a 110-mile march over nine days, retracing the steps of the original Greenham Common protesters in 1981. These young women uncover not just a historical movement but a living, breathing legacy of collective courage and resistance.
Gentle, Angry Women is a poignant and timely documentary that weaves personal discovery, historical remembrance and contemporary activism together. It confronts the rising global tensions of our time while celebrating the enduring power of women’s collective action – revealing a bridge between past courage and present hope.
The film will be followed by a Q&A with the film’s director Barbara Santi to mark International Day for the Elimination of Nuclear Weapons
