Street Tours: Women in Victorian Leeds
As part of Women’s History Month, come along and join us for a chance to take a guided tour of our Victorian Streets, with a focus on the female residents and visitors who may have been there.
The tour will be led by a member of our knowledgeable museum staff who will share their insights on what life would have been like for women in Leeds during the Victorian period.
Drop-in. Please note the event itself is free but is included in normal museum admission which must be paid on arrival.
