Spanning the late ’70s to early ’90s, this powerful new book uncovers the vital role of Black communities beyond London—in cities like Birmingham, Liverpool, Cardiff, and Bradford—during a time of political unrest and cultural revolution. From activists and artists to feminists and athletes, this vibrant collection of stories captures the resistance, creativity, and resilience that shaped a nation. Joyful, confronting, and deeply moving, ‘We Were There’ expands our understanding of Black British identity.

How might a poet respond to the rhythms and echoes of bats? Join us at the Botanic Garden for a unique evening that pairs natural science with poetic exploration.

As dusk settles, you’ll begin a guided walk through the Garden’s woodland paths to experience one of the UK’s most vital – yet often misunderstood – mammals. Using handheld detectors, we will tune in to the unique, high-frequency calls of bats as they navigate the night’s sky.
