The Pankhurst Centre provides a heritage area open to all and a women-only space that is a unique environment in which women can learn together, work on projects and socialise. The Centre is of historical significance as it was the home of Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Sylvia, Christabel and Adela who were centrally involved in the campaign for votes for women. The Women's Centre includes a workshop and training rooms in which many courses are run throughout the year, on everything from DIY to complementary therapy as well as a weekly drop-in group for women every Thursday from 11 until 2. There is a resource area with PCs and free internet access. A creche is available by arrangement.
The Heritage Project is a living memorial to the Pankhurst Women and incorporates a reading/reference area with books, magazines, newspapers and memorabilia from the suffrage period onwards lots of useful information on women's issues, women's history and the campaign for votes for women, an exhibition room and a parlour, recreated as it may have been during the time the Pankhurst family lived here.
