The Rights and Justice Festival is a collaboration between the University of Worcester’s Constitutions, Rights and Justice Research Group and The Hive. It will take place on Thursday 11 June and Friday 12 June.

Following on from our inaugural festival in 2025, this year’s festival brings together experts from across the University of Worcester and beyond to talk about a variety of issues relating to rights and justice. There will be interactive talks on topics including the right to education, whether prisons work, can war ever be justified, radical needlework in the 20th century, and trial by jury.
