Pankhurst Centre

Story

The Pankhurst Centre, 60-62 Nelson Street, Manchester, is a pair of Victorian villas, of which No. 62 was the home of Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Sylvia, Christabel and Adela and the birthplace of the suffragette movement. The villas now form a centre that is a women-only space which creates a unique environment for women to learn together, work on projects and socialise. It is a Grade II* listed building as of 10 June 1974.It also contains a museum, The Pankhurst Parlour, which has become a memorial to the suffragette movement. Its Edwardian style furnishings evoke the home of Mrs Pankhurst and her daughters. The Parlour was the first room in the Pankhurst Centre to be redecorated and was the centre of attraction when Barbara Castle and Helen Pankhurst, Sylvia's granddaughter, opened the Centre on 10 October 1987.

Came to visit randomly, and I was wonderfully surprised. The museum itself is on the hospital grounds and was unexpected. I know a fair bit about the Suffragette movement, but the volunteers added to this knowledge. I was happy to learn more about the Pankhurst family as well. It is a lovely museum. It is free as well, which is a bonus too.
Lovely little museum - the volunteers are so friendly and knowledgeable. It was a great experience being able to ask the staff questions and find out more information about the Pankhurst family. The tickets were free of charge but I would highly recommend making a donation as it’s a wonderful service that they provide :Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
It might be a small museum but it's definitely worth the visit to learn more about the inspiring women and the Pankhurst family that lead the way for Women's right to vote. It's a blessing that a piece of history is being preserved. The volunteers deserve a big cheer for all their hard work and dedicationVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
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.
Outstanding volunteers, they really know their stuff. In fact the displays themselves are less engaging and interesting than the information given by the team members. Highly recommended.
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.
Lovely Museum. Important part of Manchester’s history, hidden in an hospital yard but kept alive by dedicated volunteers. I learnt a lot discussing with one of them. There are interesting goodies at the end of the tour, with the possibility of having tea.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
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.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Super interesting exposition, Volunteers available and we'll preparedVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
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!
