Looking at real crimes with real evidence, the Crime Club is an opportunity to learn all about famous crimes from the past. This week the club will be casting its eye back to the early 1800’s, when the Luddites came to Nottingham, investigating the hanging of Daniel Diggle in 1817. For all you local history buffs, this is a chance to learn all about this radical group, while also enjoying a bit of true crime.

For a wispy peaceful gig, check this one out.
