Collection Spotlight case: Remembering Peterloo

Free collection spotlight display at People's History Museum looking back at the Peterloo Massacre.

People's History Museum in Manchester has a Collection Spotlight case dedicated to Remembering Peterloo, drawing on items from its collection to tell the story of this key moment in the fight for democracy. It's a small, focused display rather than a big exhibition, so it suits a quick visit alongside the museum's other galleries. Entry to the museum is free, though most visitors choose to donate. The museum is open every day except Tuesdays, from 10am to 5pm, and this display runs from Saturday 1 August 2026 through to Thursday 31 December 2026, so there's plenty of time to fit it in.
