At People’s History Museum (PHM) we offer a mix of heritage and contemporary multiuse spaces that can cater for small workshop events to large conferences and celebrations.

The museum’s buildings house galleries, an archive study centre, conservation studio and café bar; all of which can be incorporated into bespoke event experiences. In choosing PHM for your event you will not only benefit from a unique venue packed with heritage, but you’ll be contributing to something bigger: to support the museum’s social mission as a free museum, dedicated to preserving and sharing stories of change that empower people to make a difference.
