Free Afternoon Craft - International Women's Day

Join the Co-operative Heritage Trust in the Learning Loft at the Pioneers Museum to take part in a craft activity for families to mark this year's International Women's Day. You will be making postcards to send to any and all women that you admire, past and present, inspired by the banners from the Women's Guild. 

Children are always free, but for this session accompanying adults do not need to pay the museum entry fee.

You won't need to book this session, but you may need to wait to take part if it's busy (please don't arrive before the start of the session) - and children must be accompanied by an adult while on site. 

This offer is part of the National Lottery Heritage Fund's 'Open Week' from the 7th to 15th of March as a way to say 'thank you' to National Lottery Players. Rochdale Pioneers museum has received funding in the past to renovate the building in 2012, to support working with young people and also to help preserve documents in its archive.

There is parking in the NCP opposite Toad Lane and a space to leave pushchairs. 

If you are visiting Rochdale for the day, you can also visit their local partners in Rochdale Local Studies Centre on Norman Road (OL11 4HS) between 10:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 15:00 as a free drop in to find out more about houses, streets and neighbourhoods in the town and what it was like to live in them. The centre is a 13 minute walk from the museum.
