About this activity

The weekly 2-hour walking tour is guided by a local feminist and will lead you around Manchester city centre, combining sight-seeing with information about remarkable women.

This is an intersectional feminist tour which means that we will talk about women of all backgrounds including women of colour, working class women queer women and disabled women.

Trans-exclusionary radical “feminists” (TERFs) are not welcome on this tour. Trans women are women.

This tour is open to feminists of all genders. If you’re an ally, you’re welcome.
