A wonderful piece of Manchester history! (er, "her"-story). Led by a wonderful staff and volunteers, if you haven't checked it out, you should. I had the opportunity to tour the museum and in passing, met many of the eager and passionate volunteers.

The Pankhurst Centre is an iconic site of women’s activism, past and present. It is the only place where members of the public can visit a former home of the Pankhurst family and the only museum dedicated to telling the story of women’s fight for the right to vote. The centre, located at 60-62 Nelson Street, Manchester, is a pair of Victorian villas that were home to Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Sylvia, Christabel, and Adela. It continues to fight for women’s equality today as the headquarters of Manchester Women’s Aid. The Pankhurst Centre is a testament to the importance of women’s campaign for the vote and inspires action today. A bit of a short visit, but it's still worth making the effort.

I absolutely loved my visit. I couldn't believe that the building was nearly demolished in the 80s to build a car park. Such an important and proud part of British history.

The team have done a brilliant job doing up the Pankhurst's family home. Good exhibits showing more than just the suffragette movement. Took us about an hour.

Definitely worth going just to be in Emmaline Pankhurst's old home, however it was a very small museum. Not much to see and if you've read up about them then you pretty much already know everything they had to offer. However, would be great to bring teens!! Very inspiring. Very happy I went and that this place is still open to the public!
