Maxine Ann Bailey
★★★★★2 months agoA learning curve, Emily Pankhurst did a damn sight more than fight for the right for women to vote. The volunteers running the centre are great. I recommend anybody visiting or living in Manchester, should visit, and learn how we benefitted from hers and the rest of the people who fought and campaigned for us....

★★★★★Edited 7 months agoI went today with my adult daughter. It was truly amazing, touching, thought provoking and well presented. The volunteers are exceptional, would have been happy to talk with them all day. It is small but we spent an interesting 90 minutes there. Thoroughly recommended.
