The pankhurst centre
Emmeline Pankhurst and her family lived at number 62 Nelson Street from 1898 until 1907. It was also the first meeting of the movement that became known as the suffragettes which took place in the parlour of the house.
This family friendly museum is designed to be hands-on and immersive for all age groups. Their large suffragette dressing up box, interactive games, and lovely garden makes it a fun learning experience. Look out for their open days during the school holidays.
The building proudly continues the fight for women’s equality today as the headquarters of Manchester Women’s Aid. It provides confidential services to victims of domestic abuse, is a women's drop-in centre, children’s centre, and supports women’s activism in Manchester and the local community.
Tickets are free but you need to book a timed entry slot here. The museum is open weekly on a Thursday and Sunday.
The museum is located 20 minutes from Oxford Road train station or 28 minutes from St Peter's Sq. tram stop. More details to plan your visit can be found here
