“Without free speech, there is no such thing as truth. The moment you silence opposing voices, you destroy the foundation of democracy.” – Charlie Kirk

Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park is the oldest free speech platform in the world. People won the right to speak in mass protests in the 1860s and early 1870s. Some people believe the tradition is connected to the right of the condemned to a last speech before being hung at the Tyburn gallows, a practice that stopped at the end of the 18th century. Every Sunday people from all sorts of convictions come to Hyde Park in the afternoon to spread their message or to have fun.

From the Farmer’s Home pub (Heathen Street, Durley, Southampton SO32 2BT) head towards the village square, then turn right into Gregory Lane. At the end of Gregory lane, about half a mile, turn left. The orchard if off the road to the left immediately after the last of several houses. It is a concealed entrance through a dense hedge, you can’ see it until you are on it. We will put out a flag or something.
