The Pankhurst Centre
Opening Hours
About
This Victorian house was once the home of Emmeline Pankhurst and the birthplace of the Suffragette movement, where its first meeting took place. Saved from demolition in the 1980s, it now serves as a small museum dedicated to women’s rights history, with exhibits spanning from the suffragette era to modern times. Volunteers provide insights into the movement, and the garden outside offers a quiet space. The museum highlights the fight for the vote through displays in its four rooms, including colourful suffrage banners. Funding efforts continue to preserve its legacy.
Customer Reviews
Small but important site, both Emmeline Pankhurst’s home & the place of the first meeting of what became the Suffragettes. The building was set to be demolished in the 1980s but thankfully was saved from the bulldozer. Cafe & toilets on site & a garden with benches to the rear of the property.
Very informative and helpful staff, would have liked to stay longer with more comfortable seating, however still very enjoyable
I went today with my adult daughter. It was truly amazing, touching, thought provoking and well presented. The volunteers are exceptional, would have been happy to talk with them all day. It is small but we spent an interesting 90 minutes there. Thoroughly recommended.
