The Pankhurst Centre
A community resource for Manchester women. The Pankhurst Centre in Manchester provides a women-only space that creates a unique environment in which women can learn together, work on projects and socialise.
The Pankhurst Centre's Museum in Manchester is a tribute to the legacy of Emmeline Pankhurst and the suffragette movement. The house was where the Women’s Social and Political Union was founded. The centre is also of historical significance as it was the home of Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Sylvia, Christabel and Adela who campaigned tirelessly for the women’s vote.
The Pankhurst Parlour has become a memorial to the suffragette movement. Its Edwardian style furnishings evoke the home of Mrs Pankhurst and her daughters. The Parlour was the first room in the Pankhurst Centre to be redecorated and was the centre of attraction when Barbara Castle opened the Centre on 10 October 1987 after years of dereliction.
The centre is open for classes including:
- DIY
- Watercolours
- Web Design
- Personal Development
- I.T.
- Volunteering
- Self Defence

The centre also provides creche facility.
