Meet at All Saint’s Park at 6pm.

Everything might be going to shit, but after a two year break we’re back… in a new city, and ready to fight (and party!) harder than ever.

With flags, noise, resistance and hope, starting at All Saints Park, beside the location of the 1945 Fifth Pan African Congress, we’ll march through Hulme, past many TWT venues, to the Niamos. Inside will be food, drinks, welcoming speeches from leading lights across the movement, and music from local artists: Rootz, Yemi Bolatiwa, and three-piece BMG. TWT25 will be ambitious and historic: let’s start it right.

Speakers

is a community-led, anti-racist project that celebrates the life and legacy of Manchester uncrowned boxing legend & civil rights activist Len Johnson. Since founding in 2021 they've hosted over 80+ artists and DJs across iconic venues like Band on the Wall, Manchester Carnival and Factory International.
