The Jarrow March
90th anniversary
The Jarrow March
90th anniversary
In 1936, 200 people set off on what became known as the Jarrow Crusade, walking 300 miles to London to be seen and heard.
In 2026, we’re flipping the script. To mark the 90th anniversary, we’re walking those 300 miles back home. Not as a protest, but as a cultural homecoming.

Jarra March 2026 is rooted in the people of this town. Led by local scientist-turned-writer, Liam Little, and supported by community partners and cultural collaborators, this is a shared project, shaped by Jarra.
