The film was made in the early 1970s and recently unearthed in the archive of award-winning Platform Films. Norman Thomas of Platform says that the power of the 70 minute film lies in its extensive use of first hand testimony of strikers and strikers’ relatives...It’s been a hundred years since workers across the country come out in support of over a million miners locked out of work for refusing to accept lower pay. Thomas claims the film contains vital lessons for present day trade unionists. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/colchester/commemorating-the-general-strike-of-1926/100001986370785491 - **Event Categories**: Entertainment, Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fcommemorating-the-general-strike-of-1926-tickets-1986370785491 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Colchester - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Headgate Theatre - **lat**: 51.8870847 - **long**: 0.8969026999999999 - **full address**: Headgate Theatre, 14 Chapel Street North, Colchester, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Colchester Trades Council/R (https://allevents.in/org/colchester-trades-council-r/27479256) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/7f476da8e7f1164e8ff134123a0d8ca4420457c4e596263f3033ac1459fabf18-rimg-w979-h707-dc190303-gmir.jpg?v=1775122470 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/a9070881b8c96c166ef3d77f36a6496db5ad50af79e081be9c18bb60e96d1e35-rimg-w400-h400-dc190303-gmir.jpg?v=1775122470 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Mon, 04 May, 2026 at 02:00 pm (+01:00) - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Headgate Theatre, 14 Chapel Street North, Colchester, United Kingdom - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 GBP - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Colchester Trades Council/R - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** Entertainment, Art, literary-art - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Commemorating The General Strike of 1926 ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Commemorating The General Strike of 1926", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/7f476da8e7f1164e8ff134123a0d8ca4420457c4e596263f3033ac1459fabf18-rimg-w979-h707-dc190303-gmir.jpg?v=1775122470", "startDate": "2026-05-04T14:00:00+01:00", "endDate": "2026-05-04T21:00:00+01:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/colchester/commemorating-the-general-strike-of-1926/100001986370785491", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Headgate Theatre", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "14 Chapel Street North", "postalCode": "CO2 7AT", "addressLocality": "Colchester", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.8870847", "longitude": "0.8969026999999999" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Colchester Trades Council hosts a day of activities to commemorate 100 years since the General Strike.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-02", "availabilityEnds": "2026-05-04T21:00:00+01:00", "validFrom": "2026-04-02", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/colchester/commemorating-the-general-strike-of-1926/100001986370785491" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-02", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-02", "url": "https://allevents.in/colchester/commemorating-the-general-strike-of-1926/100001986370785491", "price": 0, "name": "Donation" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Colchester Trades CouncilR", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/colchester-trades-council-r/27479256" } ] } ] ```
