3.30pm – 4.15pm: The Old Abbey Tap House present Pubs as centres of community heritage and the inspiring story of Len Johnson
The Old Abbey Tap House has teamed up with academics and local people to uncover the remarkable tale of Len Johnson, a boxer who fought against racism. This inspiring piece of Hulme’s local history and heritage is shared through performance, rap, and songs in recognition of this extraordinary man.
There will also be a guided GPS walk to the Old Abbey Tap House with some local community members sharing stories along the way. Join the Abbey locals for live music, food and the launch of Liz Faye’s new book about the pub’s history.
Join in on the day.
