Monthly demo at 4pm on 2nd Monday of every month outside: Unit 3, Easter Park, Lenton Lane, Nottingham NG7 2PX.

Not many Nottingham residents are aware of it, but the city is home to a major multinational arms company. An anonymous warehouse on an industrial estate in Lenton is the UK headquarters of Heckler & Koch - the world's second-largest manufacturer of handguns, assault rifles, submachine guns, machine guns and grenade launchers.

Outraged by the presence of such an unethical company, a group of Nottingham residents established a campaign called Shut Down H&K. The campaign holds monthly demonstrations outside Heckler & Koch's office

If you don't want Nottingham to be home to a company that profits from war, get involved. Let's make Nottingham an unwelcoming place for arms dealers!
