The Big Dress Tour

The Big Dress marquee will be visiting 15 towns and cities over the next 2 years to enable thousands of people all over the country to experience this creative campaigning wonder! Speak groups hosting the Big Dress will be holding many inspiring and challenging events inside it. Amongst gigs, talks, fair-trade fashion shows and cafes, the Big Dress offers plenty of interactive space for visitors to get to grips with the campaign and Speak’s core values.

More about the tour:

It's just four weeks until the Big Dress visits Sheffield between the 8th -12th of May. If you want to kick off your summer by hanging out with people, spending your time and energy on behalf of the poor and communicating campaigns to visitors, you should come and be in our campaigns gang. We need a few people to get trained (19th April, Sheffield) to answer questions, explain campaign actions and show people how they can get more involved. We'll have a new Pray & Post card focusing on making companies accountable, careful and transparent all the way across Europe! Sending off hundreds of cards from the Big Dress in May could have a huge impact, but people will only know what to do if it's explained a bit. That's where you come in. Not only do you get to stay IN A HOUSE for the whole festival (8th-12th of May), you can also come to Sheffield on Saturday 19th for training, getting to know the team, curry and general excitement. If this sounds good we would so appreciate your help. Please contact Greg or Hannah in the northern office.
