**It has come to our attention that there are three weeks containing incorrect dates in the 2026 Peace Diary. Sadly this is a result of human error, and not a special feature. A note is now included with the diary. The incorrect dates are:
Week beginning April 20th: Wednesday 21st April should be Wednesday 22nd April.
Week beginning Monday 22nd June: Tuesday 24th and Wednesday 25th should be 23rd and 24th, respectively (correct again from Thursday 25th)
Week beginning Monday 27th July: Tuesday 27th July should be Tuesday 28th July.
All other dates are correct.
Our apologies for the mix-up. If you have already purchased a diary – and don’t wish to celebrate the 21st April twice – you are welcome to get in touch for a refund.**
