Tales time: Emmeline Pankhurst

As a young girl, Emmeline loved to read, but she was perplexed by the limitations placed on women in Victorian society. Raised in a large middle-class family, she couldn't understand why she was denied the same opportunities as her brothers when it came to education, jobs and the right to vote.

She grew up to become a courageous Suffragette leader who inspired change, fighting for women’s rights and forever altering the course of history.

Come and hear our Host bring her story to life, cheer for the Suffragettes, and even create your own banner to celebrate what’s important to you.
