Votes for Women: The Power of Protest (5★ Walking Tour)
Join Adventours Ltd on our 5-star rated walking tour, “Votes for Women: The Power of Protest”, through central Newcastle.
Stand where local women challenged the law and helped shape our future.
Just over 100 years ago, women fought back against senseless rules and a government determined to keep the status quo.
On this 90-minute stroll, your guide brings the UK suffrage movement to life—sharing stories of courage, determination, and solidarity that history books often miss.
For this one-off International Women’s Day edition, we’ll also spotlight Emmeline Pankhurst, one of the movement’s most influential leaders.
What to expect:
- Powerful stories from Newcastle’s suffrage history, told on location
- The people, protests, and turning points that helped win change
- Thought-provoking moments that connect past struggles to today
