Join us for a riveting talk by Garry Atterton titled "I Predict a Riot - The Real Story of the 1831 Bristol Uprising."
In this compelling talk, Garry will take us back to 1831 when Bristol was a city on the brink. Amidst a backdrop of social unrest, poverty and calls for political reform, the city erupted into two days of violent rioting. Discover the shocking events that led to the burning of the Mansion House, the storming of the city’s gaols and the tragic aftermath that saw public executions and a court-martial.
With vivid storytelling, Garry will bring to life the drama of the Bristol Riots, a pivotal moment in the city’s history that helped pave the way for the Reform Act of 1832. This talk is sure to be both informative and engaging, offering a rare insight into a lesser-known chapter of Bristol’s past.
