Visit a General Strike 100 Site
National museums, libraries, archives, community groups, and individuals across the UK are marking the centenary of the 1926 General Strike.
This map brings together stories, exhibitions, and events to remember the strike and its impact on working people, as well as to highlight how these struggles connect to the present.
In partnership with the trade union and wider labour movement, our project has delivered an interactive map of sites for public visitation throughout 2026. This may include details of a specific exhibition, an educational event, or a unique collection to explore, all part of our rich history of the General Strike.
Take our pledge today to 'Visit a General Strike 100 Site' using this form. All signups will receive our our monthly General Strike 100 email throughout the anniversary year.
