Small museum, thought provoking. Only £5 per adult, kids free under16. Add it to your places to visit in Manchester.

Amazing staff and volunteers. Very knowledgeable and passionate. The video exhibition of women's struggles throughout time had me in tears

This is an interesting, beautifully-presented but quite small site, which gives a good overview of the suffragette movement and the key players of the Pankhurst family. The best thing about it was the volunteers in each room, who were very knowledgeable about the Pankhursts and thoughtful about linking their campaigning to modern politics and the issues which concern women today. Well worth a visit, compete with a (self-made) cuppa and some truly excellent cards in the tiny shop. A good thematic combo with the nearby Elizabeth Gaskell House, or with the People's History Museum. We drove, and parked in the NHS Grafton Street multistory next door. Booking is advisable as it's very small.
