Europe Day at the National Liberal Club 

Following the overwhelming success of last year’s event, we are pleased to announce the return of Europe Day at the National Liberal Club! A partnership event between the National Liberal Club and the European Movement.

Join us to celebrate the UK’s ongoing place in Europe and the European Union at one of London’s largest pro-European events.

This year’s event coincides with the 80th anniversary of VE Day. In these troubled times for Europe, with the ongoing war in Ukraine and international geopolitical turmoil, the event will explore the importance of defence unity in Europe as we stand up to the challenges we are facing on the continent and around the world.

We are proud to host this important event in the exquisite surroundings of the National Liberal Club. One of the finest private members' clubs in the UK and the international home of Liberalism.

Throughout the evening, there will be a series of talks discussing critical topics such as the UK’s role in Europe, the crucial importance of European defence, and how the European Union must continue to be a force for peace and progress in the world.

European Movement

The European Movement was founded by Winston Churchill in 1949 to promote European unity, and has been working for over 75 years to build a closer relationship with the UK’s European neighbours. 

They believe the UK’s economic and political interests, and the global pursuit of our shared values of peace, freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law, are best achieved by working together with Europe. 

The European Movement Co-presidents' are Caroline Lucas and Dominic Grieve KC, and their Chair is Dr Mike Galsworthy. Sir Nick Harvey (former Liberal Democrat MP for North Devon, and Minister of State for the Armed Forces) is their CEO.
