Bath for Europe

Upcoming Events

Welcome

Together we have forged a strong and committed grassroots campaigning organisation, one of the most prominent in the UK. Bath for Europe is a non-party-aligned community group affiliated with the European Movement. We believe that Brexit is a profound national mistake, and campaign for the UK to retain strong ties with the European Union, with the aim of rejoining in the future. Help us call out this disastrous Government on its many failings and stand with us to call for improved international cooperation.

We are active on Twitter and Facebook and have a programme of events including talks (normally on Zoom) and monthly meetings (in a local park in good weather otherwise on Zoom). All are welcome to attend.

Our next event is a Georgian themed Day for Rejoin in front of the Royal Crescent on Saturday 25th March at 12 noon. This is one of many Day for Rejoin regional actions taking place across the UK. Details here. 

Recent events include participation in the rescheduled National Rejoin March in London on Saturday 22nd October 2022 to which we organised a coach from Bath and Swindon. Online events have included Otto English 26th October who talked about his book: Fake History: Ten Great Lies and How They Shaped the World. Details here. Also Anna Bird, Chief Executive of the European Movement (UK) talked to us on 22nd February about how we return to the EU. Details here.

We have also supported a variety of local campaigns. We have joined protests in solidarity with the people of Ukraine, demonstrations against new UK laws that erode democracy and limit the right to protest, and, led by local charity Bath Welcomes Refugees, protests against new laws that are hostile to refugees.
