Humanists UK Convention...in Sheffield!

It's deeply shameful of me that, running an email promoting secular events in Sheffield, I've failed to promote what will be the biggest secular event of year and likely the decade.

Friday 13 June 7pm - Sunday 15 June 3pm

Octagon Centre
Clarkson Street
Sheffield
S10 2TQ
