24 HOURS OF PEACE

Director Neil Bartlett’s epic Remembrance Sunday act of witness to the work of 100 contemporary peace-workers will be a show like no other.

The event begins on Sunday 10 November at 11am and will finish at 11am on Monday 11 November with 2 minutes silence.

Seating is unreserved, and the event is unticketed - feel free to drop in and out of the event whenever you like.

The theatre will be open from 10am on Sunday. Both entrances to the theatre will be open until 6pm on Sunday - after which there’ll be access via the St Ann's Square entrance only.

The Rivals will be running a café service from 10am to 10pm and tea, coffee and soft drinks will be available in the hall over night.

Cold drinks, can be taken into the theatre, you can easily pop out for a hot drink. Food can be eaten in the hall.

We will be carrying out bag searches at times throughout the event, and ask that visitors only bring small bags with them.

We’re delightetd to confirm that Toby Jones, Miranda Richardson and Mina Anwar have all confirmed they will be taking part alongside our community ensemble.

You can see a full timetable of performers - here - all the details are correct at time of going to print – but maybe subject to change.
