Calendar of peace related events and activities
in the north of Britain and beyond
(listing  does not necessarily imply endorsement by NFPB)

NB: in the interests of brevity, this list covers chiefly events in the north of Britain with some national events - which tend to be in London - and a few international events)   For details of other regular vigils, visit the Quaker Peace Exchange pages.  Also worth checking out, the events pages on the Network for Peace website (used as a source for many of the dates below - thanks NfP!)    See also NFPB's blog at peace peaces
