About this event
Experience an immersive evening of music, readings, and discussion, hearing how individual voices have shaped the long story of democracy in the UK. Sitting within the nation’s house of memory, discover the history of democracy around Parliament Square through the words of politicians, writers and campaigners. From Magna Carta to Nelson Mandela, listen to those who tested the foundations, explored enduring principles or demanded fairer representation. How do their voices reflect the enduring story of democracy and inspire hope for the democratic future? As the UK’s democracy continues to evolve, Westminster Abbey Institute invites you to the place where it began. Join the conversation this Autumn about democracy’s past, present, and future, in our programme of events: The Long Story of Democracy.
