Enjoy a day out at the People’s History Museum (PHM) and be sure to check out the 2025 Banner Exhibition. Each banner in the exhibition has been created by people who fought for the rights we have today.

Find out why banners are such an important tool in the fight for change. And also discover more about the groundbreaking protests that have influenced our rights today.

The Museum’s selection for 2025 includes the banners highlighting homelessness in the 1940s, the LGBT community supporting the miners strikes of the 1980s, and those used during the campaigns for disabled people’s rights, and during the strikes by teachers and health workers.

This is a family-friendly exhibition. Suitable for all ages.

Remember to collect your 2025 Banner Bingo activity from the welcome desk on arrival.
