Summer Holiday Family Drop-In Meet Mrs Norton – Suffragette

August 16, 2018 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Cartwright Hall Art Gallery, Lister Park, Bradford, BD9 4NS, t: 01274 431212

Thursday 16 August, 1 – 3 pm
Meet Mrs Norton – Suffragette (aka Irene Lofthouse – actress and storyteller).

Mrs Norton will offer children and families the chance to find out first hand from a local Suffragette about her experience fighting for the right to vote including protests in Bradford and London and a time in jail. Find out who exactly got the vote in 1918, how the press reported events leading to the act of Parliament and what the significance was to us all.

There will be an opportunity to view the exhibition ‘Vote 100: Suffragettes and Propaganda’ in the Suffragette Campaign Office (Cellar Gallery) as well as making the flower and ribbon badges which are traditionally worn by Suffragettes.

Feel free to dress up!

Children to be accompanied by an adult.
