Chartism Day 2027 will take place at the Sorbonne in Paris on Saturday 3 July 2027. Details of the venue, speakers and papers will be available nearer the date. The event was last held in Paris in 2010.
Apart from a two-year hiatus during the Covid pandemic, the event has been held annually since September 1995 when, under the guidance of the renowned Chartist historian Dorothy Thompson, the first conference took place at the University of Birmingham. Chartism Day is supported by the Society for the Study of Labour History and has taken place in a variety of locations across England, Wales, Ireland and France, bringing together senior academics, junior scholars and members of the wider public who share a common interest in the history of the Chartist movement. A report on Chartism Day 2026, held at Friends Meeting House, Warwick, can be found here.
