With a tongue-in-cheek nod to one of the greatest Halloween films, The Pankhurst Centre host Nightmare on Nelson Street 2, it’s suffragette inspired sequel Emmeline’s Revenge. Get into the Halloween spirit with a walking tour of the area around the museum, followed by spooky suffragette stories shared over hot drinks.
’62 Nelson Street is famously the former home of the Pankhurst family and where the suffragette movement was born, but the surrounding area has some darker mysteries and unexplained riddles that this evening will also uncover. There will be a glimpse into a bygone world and the history of some other local landmarks, including Manchester Royal Infirmary, St Mary’s Hospital and Manchester University. There will also be tales of body snatching, disorderly houses and an unexpected link between suffragettes and werewolves to be revealed.’
