On Sunday July 18th, the Anarchist Federation's Nottingham group hosted an event at the Sparrow's Nest entitled "Civil War and Revolution: Anarchism in Spain". The event came the day after the re-dedication of the memorial to the International Brigades at County Hall, West Bridgford. It is part of a series of events commemorating the war which also includes a showing of Ken Loach's Land and Freedom on Sunday July 25th.

The event was an opportunity for the Nest to display its extensive archive of materials about the Spanish Civil War. The books were supplemented by reproductions of posters from the war, alongside images of the memorial at County Hall and a letter written by an International Brigade volunteers from Nottingham. Aside from the displays, the Anarchist Federation had invited two speakers from the Solidarity Federation who discussed the experiences of their Spanish sister organisation, the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), the anarcho-syndicalist union which came to prominence during the civil war.
