Despite significant local opposition – including the withdrawal of a licence by the local authority and police – the BNP is going ahead.
In previous years, BNP members were secretly filmed by BBC documentary makers singing Nazi marching songs at the event.
Unite Against Fascism is calling on organisations and individuals to protest near the rally from 11am on Saturday 16 August in the village of Codnor, Derbyshire.
This protest has been called by Derby, Mansfield and Nottingham trades councils, Derby Unite Against Fascism, Nottinghamshire Stop the BNP, and Unite Against Fascism nationally, and is supported by East Midlands TUC.
