Vigil on Monday 13th September at the ExCel Centre, Eastern Entrance. We will be meeting at 6.30pm, Royal Victoria DLR to walk to the ExCel Centre. The vigil itself will take place at the ExCel Centre from 7pm to 8pm.
Come along to this silent vigil held the evening before the September DSEI arms fair at the ExCeL Centre in East London. Every two years, arms companies come here for a week to display their weapons to buyers from across the world- including repressive regimes.
Pax Christi, Quaker Peace & Social Witness and Quaker Roots have been working together to hold a silent, multi faith candle-lit vigil. This event is open to all ages. As this is a candlelit vigil, please bring a lantern/jar with a candle in and something to light it with.
Location
We will gather at Royal Victoria DLR station, on the south side, by the roundabout on Seagull Lane, London, E16 1BY at 6:30pm.
We will then walk to the location of the vigil, which will be held at ExCel Centre, Royal Victoria Square, London, E16 1AB.
