Pankhurst Centre, Women's rights museum in Manchester, England
The Pankhurst Centre is a townhouse on Nelson Street now operating as a museum and community venue. The building contains exhibits about the women's suffrage campaign and displays the rooms where the family lived and conducted their political work.
The organized women's suffrage campaign began in 1903 when Emmeline Pankhurst founded her movement at this location. The house remained a center for decades-long efforts to secure women's voting rights in Britain.
The house shows how the Pankhurst family balanced everyday domestic life with their political work. Visitors can see how rooms were actually used and how women organized their campaign for voting rights from this location.
Visits require advance booking due to limited visitor numbers inside the historic rooms. Plan ahead when making a visit to ensure you can be accommodated.
The building holds protected historic status and is the only publicly accessible former family home associated with the movement. This allows visitors to step into the private spaces where one of Britain's most important campaigns was born.
