ABOUT THE PANKHURST MUSEUM
The Pankhurst Museum is the only place where members of the public can visit a former home of the Pankhurst family, and is the only museum dedicated to telling the story of women’s fight for the right to vote.
Located in the hospital grounds of the Manchester Foundation Trust, 60-62 Nelson Street is dedicated to ensuring the story of radical Mancunian Emmeline Pankhurst and the suffragettes is told for generations to come.
Opening Hours
The Pankhurst Museum, tearoom and shop are open every Thursday and Sunday from 11am to 4pm (last entry is 3pm). Our guests can also visit the garden throughout the week, when the garden gates are open. We love offering a beautiful green space for visitors, staff and hospital staff to enjoy.
Tearoom: We have a tiny tearoom where you can purchase light refreshments (teas, coffee, snacks). You can also enjoy your refreshments outside in our lovely garden (weather permitting).
Shop: Our onsite Suffragette Shop has a range of books, gifts, and souvenirs for children and adults. There are regular special offers or new items available, depending on the time of year. Please note we do not have an online shop.

Our team
Emma McBeath
Heritage Manager
Emma has worked in heritage for over 20 years. She loves working in museums because "I'm a storyteller and I get to share the stories of amazing people and places". Despite doing a plant biology degree, she is absolutely unable to keep a plant alive, so is not allowed near the museum's indoor plants!
Hannah Priest
Engagement Officer
As well as working at the museum, Hannah is a writer and researcher with an interest in local history, and she’s currently writing a book for Manchester University Press about an odd little corner of Manchester’s history. Hannah’s other passion is nature and the history of green spaces, and she volunteers for Friends of Crumpsall Park and Friends of Bailey’s Wood community groups in North Manchester.
Helen Devine
Duty Manager
Helen loves working at such an iconic building, learning a lot from the volunteers. Her favourite part of the job is meeting the visitors – with their interesting questions!
Helen also works as a primary teacher so relaying Manchester's rich history is important to her in both roles.
