Remember the Bow Suffragettes at Toynbee Hall

The East London Suffragette Festival has been running since the beginning of the month, culminating today in a free day-long session at Toynbee Hall with talks, discussions, poetry and storytelling sessions, and more informal stalls with arts, crafts, facepainting, refreshments and a jumble sale throughout the day.


It's all part of the celebration of 100 years since the radical East London Federation of Suffragettes was established in Bow, and its a great chance to engage with local history in east London and hear from some interesting and engaging types on the way.
