Your Route
Since this Parliament opened 115 years ago, the institution and its traditions have been a constant throughout significant cultural changes.
No food or drink can be taken into the Assembly and Council Chambers.
It has adapted to fit as society changes. Should it change now? If so, how? Tonight we want you to not just listen, but to connect with the people and the place. Begin building a relationship as fellow citizens with Parliament, the people’s house, Our House. Emma Gibbens
