Time Travel to Victorian Saltaire and Edwardian England with two real life Costume Guides

Meet not one but two real life costume guides who will take you on a journey back through time to Victorian Saltaire, learn all about Salt and why Saltaire, meet a few real life villagers from that time, hear their stories and scandals! Then follow Pollie Toothill down to the park, across the bridge and over the river to board the Time Machine AKA the historic Shipley Glen. On board, Pollie will transform into Edwardian Suffragette Nell Kenney as we time travel.

Disembark the Time Machine at the top of Shipley Glen where you’ll meet Edwardian Nell Kenney, Bingley Suffragette, she will introduce you to her amazing family. Her younger sister in particular, Annie Kenney, was well known and worked very closely with the Pankhursts. Nell will tell you all about their stories and the other amazing suffragettes. Nell will lead you up to the site of the amazing ‘Monster’ Suffragette Rally in 1908 attended by up to 100,000.
