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.

A must see museum to learn more about the Pankhurst family and the suffragette movement. Some of the staff available were really knowledgeable and helpful. The last DVD shown was next to the reception which made hearing difficult at times. Perhaps the reception could be put elsewhere. Hopefully the museum will grow from strength to strength as it is a valuable asset to the community and women's movement. There is no parking on site and the nearby NCP carpark is very busy due to serving hospital visitors also. Allow time for parking when booking your time slot.

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.

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!

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.

The Pankhurst Centre is such a historic and important place to visit. I took my two teenage children during half-term, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly and made our visit extra special.
