help with the running costs).
This event has been put together to mark the 21^st anniversary of the
notorious trashing of a convoy of travellers, festival-goers and green
activists en route to Stonehenge, with the aim of celebrating the
triumphs of those who refused to be cowed by state oppression, and
remembering those who are no longer with us.

Night’s Rock Show’, Al Stokes’ film of the 1984 Stonehenge Free Festival.

about the Battle of the Beanfield by Neil Goodwin and Gareth Morris.
3 pm: ‘The legacy of the Beanfield’, a talk by Andy Worthington, editor
of ‘The Battle of the Beanfield’ and author of ‘Stonehenge: Celebration
and Subversion’.
3.30 pm: Open forum. A chance for anyone present to have their say.
5 pm: Film-maker Martin Parry introduces a screening of his
newly-released film ‘Outsiders: The Peace Convoy’, following the trials
of the Convoy during 1985 and 1986.

documentary.
