When: March 8, 2025

Where: Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

REGISTER

Join this 90 minute leisurely paced walking tour through Newcastle city Centre.

Step back 100 years and explore the inspiring stories of the brave, resilient women who played pivotal roles in the fight for British suffrage.

Walk with us through the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne and discover the remarkable contributions of local women to this historic movement.

This is the story of womankind’s fight for equality. Yet it’s also so much more:
It’s stories of unparalleled bravery,
It’s stories of warriors, willing to sacrifice anything, to improve the lives of sisters they’ll never meet.
It’s stories of an underdog; fighting roles as old and established as civilisation itself.

We’d love for you to join us as we step back one hundred years. As we explore the stories of the decades-long campaign for the vote and the novocastrian women who played pivotal roles in that fight.

Meet your guide at Grey's Monument Newcastle On Saturday 8th March at 11am.
