Chainmakers Festival in Cradley Heath 2026
July 4 @ 11:00 am – 5:00 pm

In 1910 the Women Chainmakers of Cradley Heath fought a successful 10-week dispute to establish the right to a minimum wage for their labour.
Each year the Women Chainmakers Festival recognises and celebrates the role of women within the trade union movement and aims to reclaim the often forgotten contribution of women to Britain’s industrial heritage
SLP members and supporters will be present at this event.
Come along and show your support.
