The Pankhurst Centre celebrated the birthday of Emmeline Pankhurst by offering a fun day of activities to the public. People could make appointments to visit and have a guided tour of the centre and all the artefacts relating to Emmeline’s work and the work of the Pankhurst family.
As well as the tour, workshops were available for writing poetry or creating cards. There were activities for children. A highlight was a performance by an opera singer, Elise Morton, accompanied by piano player, Alex.
President Elect Fiona, Vice President Sophie and members Rose and Val helped with the day by providing refreshments for the visitors – lemon drizzle cake, blueberry cake, brownies, cookies, buns and chocolate crunch.
There were many grateful compliments which made all our efforts worthwhile.
