Join us for a special Time & Leisure In Conversation event with Helen Pankhurst CBE and Carmela Corbett, exploring the themes behind Her Court: The Role Wimbledon Played in the Suffragette Movement.
Taking place within the exhibition at Wimbledon Museum, this conversation will reflect on women’s histories, activism, sport, legacy and the continuing relevance of the Suffragette movement today.
Time & Leisure ‘In Conversation’ with Helen Pankhurst CBE & Carmela Corbett
Tuesday, 7 July 2026, 5–7pm
All proceeds from this event will be donated to Centenary Action, a cross-party campaign working towards a #GenderEqualParliament by 2028. Although women make up 51% of the UK population, they currently account for only 40% of MPs. Centenary Action works to identify and remove the barriers that prevent women from participating, being selected, and remaining in politics.
As Sylvia Pankhurst reminded us: "Great is the work that remains to be accomplished."
