The Pankhurst Centre in Manchester is stepping back into Edwardian times for its summer, family-friendly activities. Each Thursday and Sunday from Thursday 25 July to Sunday 1 September, visitors will be able to take part in the free activities during their visit to the birthplace of the suffragette movement.
Through crafts, a museum trail and fun games, visitors will discover more about the Edwardian era through a child’s eyes, and in Emmeline’s parlour, there is also the chance for children to dress for the period with hats, shawls and suffragette sashes to choose from. It was from 1898 to 1908 that 62 Nelson Street was the home to the Pankhurst family and where suffragette history was made.
