Did you know that we produce podcasts? You can download episodes for free on a variety of subjects, from the stories behind our gardens, collections and outdoor places, to the houses that helped shape and influence the work of great writers.
Part of the People's Landscapes programme, many of our places are hosting exhibitions, art installations and events looking at the connections between our places and the rights and beliefs we hold dear.
In 1819, tens of thousands gathered in St Peter’s Field, Manchester to campaign for parliamentary reform. When the military were called in, many were killed. The massacre became a critical moment in the fight for democracy and its reverberations can still be felt today. In 2019 we'll be shining a light on two places in the North West with connections to the Peterloo Massacre and discovering more about their stories through art.
The People's Landscapes guidebook reveals more about the National Trust places where people came together to make their voices heard, how our land has been shaped by people and, in turn, shaped our communities and histories, and gives a glimpse in to some of the debates happening at these places today.
