Join us to celebrate Women's History Month

For Women’s History Month we’re taking part in a collaboration with other museums and heritage organisations, to celebrate women using items from our collections.

Each week we’ll be using a different hashtag to draw a different focus on our collections – details below.

All heritage organisations are welcome to join us! For more info please contact Laura of Devil’s Porridge Museum laura@devilsporridge.org.uk or Emma of Go Industrial emma@goindustrial.co.uk
