Visit The Pankhurst Museum

Emmeline Pankhurst lived at 62 Nelson Street, Manchester between 1898 and 1907. On 10th October 1903 she held the very first meeting of the Women's Social & Political Union (the Suffragette Movement) here in the parlour. Visit this iconic site of women's activism, saved and rebuilt in the 1970's & 1980's by women. Discover the story of the Pankhurst family, explore their home and visit the parlour where history was made. Browse our pop-up Suffragette shop cart and take tea in our tiny tearoom.

Open Thursdays & Sundays from 11am to 4pm (last entry is 3pm).
