On Friday 22 February 2008 Nottingham adopted the first Speakers' Corner in the UK since an Act of Parliament paved the way for the original in London's Hyde Park almost 150 years ago It's to be located in the heart of the city centre as a powerful symbol of citizens' rights, a focus for civic pride and a platform for free public exchange in the midst of Nottingham's daily hustle and bustle.
Just a week before its launch, Nottingham's Speakers' Corner received a tremendous boost when it won the personal endorsement of Eddie Izzard, the stand-up genius turned Hollywood star, in a major TV interview.
