Details are now available for the rally to be held on November the 19th in opposition of the Government's Budget implications for family farms and businesses across the country.



With numbers of attendees swelling beyond capacity of Trafalgar Square, organisers have relocated the event to Richmond Terrace on Whitehall, London (What3Words fresh.butter.grapes), opposite Downing Street, to ensure all participants have the opportunity to hear from speakers, while remaining safe.



Attendees are asked to gather on Richmond Terrace from 11am on the 19th of November, with speakers from across agriculture, TV and politics due to show their support for family farms and wider businesses. Following several speeches, a procession will take place to Parliament Square. The procession will be spearheaded by a number of children on toy tractors, signifying the impact of the devastating budget on the future of farming and the countryside. The procession will then return to Richmond Terrace for the final address by NFU President, Tom Bradshaw.



Further details on speakers and their timings will be released in the coming days.



As well as being asked to wear their boots and wellies as a sign of working people, all attendees are asked to bring with them British produce to make a mass Food Bank donation. To avoid unnecessary congestion at Richmond Terrace, four drop off locations will be arranged at key transport hubs across London. These will be announced in due course and circulated with a link for financial donations. All food and financial contributions will then be kindly distributed to those in need by City Harvest.



The organisers remind all attendees of their responsibilities to, not only themselves, but also, the reputation of the farming industry. We therefore ask that all attendees ensure that Richmond Terrace and the surrounding areas are left as they are found, including removing all litter and campaign materials. Organisers remind attendees that they should not bring machinery. Trouble will not be tolerated, and organisers continue to work closely with the Metropolitan Police to ensure the safety of all involved, given the family nature of the event.



For attendees making their way to London by train, the nearest tube station is Westminster. For attendees making their way by coach, Westminster Council has asked that all drop offs are done within the bounds of normal traffic laws and that coaches park in the designated bays across the Westminster Borough.
