Suffragette City: A Celebration

September 30, 2018 @ 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm

THE SUFFRAGETTES OF MANCHESTER CHANGED THE WORLD AND LED THE NATIONAL MOVEMENT TO WIN THE VOTE FOR WOMEN.

In the one hundred years since, there have been other battles to fight and a long line of kick-ass activists, thinkers and revolutionaries to fight them. From Emmeline Pankhurst through Barbara Castle to Malala Yousafzai and the #MeToo protesters, these women and their male allies stood up and spoke out.

Hear their words in a specially commissioned day of historic speeches and poetic anthems, written by Jo Bell and presented by the Manchester women who are today’s suffragettes. Put on the green, white and purple colours of the movement if you have them – then learn, listen and raise your voice with theirs.
