The Weavers Bicentennial Committee (WUBC) was established in 2022 as a Lancashire based volunteer group who were interested to uncover the events and history of the 'Weavers Uprising' and related 'Chatterton Massacre' of 1826. The WUBC is a registered charity (No. 1204872) set up with the objective of the advancement of education for the public benefit in the heritage and local history of East Lancashire and the surrounding areas, with a particular focus on the Weavers Uprising of 1826 and related events in particular, though not exclusively, by providing commemorative events, artwork, music, talks and initiating research and developing educational resources. We are a volunteer led organisation that now has over 150 members.
