Description

This is the story of the Radical War of 1820, and Paisley’s role in it.

Paisley Radicals: Catalysts for Change is a vivid, dramatically immersive experience.

The uprising takes place in 1819-20 but there are recurring echoes of the present day as the voices of our guides Mary and Mac lead us from stop to stop, back and forward in time. Crossing centuries they connect age-old struggles for justice and liberty.

From Paisley Woodside Cemetery and Crematorium to Paisley Town Centre, we follow the human stories of local folk who led an inspiring movement for change.

Part radio play, part walking tour, you'll hear history brought to life with an interplay of mindfulness, music – and down to earth humour.

Paisley Radicals: Catalysts for Change is a collaboration with Civil Disobedience supported by Renfrewshire Council through Future Paisley and Paisley TH.CARS2, with matched funding from National Lottery Heritage Fund and Historic Environment Scotland.
