On 13 October 1905, suffragettes Christabel Pankhurst and Annie Kenney were arrested in Manchester after interrupting a political meeting – a bold act that changed history.

This event at 62 Nelson Street, their former home, marks 120 years since that moment. Visitors can explore the house where their protest began and then join an evening talk uncovering what really happened that day, separating truth from myth.

Doors open at 6:00 pm for tours, with the talk starting at 6.30 pm.
