People’s History Museum (PHM), Manchester, is offering an opportunity to join its archive team in delving into the museum’s miners’ strike collections. The event takes place on the 40th anniversary of the final day of the 1984-1985 miners’ strike and tells the stories of a defining event in Britain’s history.

Visitors can also explore the galleries where they will see objects such as a poster featuring the iconic image taken by photographer John Harris during what would become known as the Battle of Orgreave (18 June 1984), and banners that connect to mining communities, badges, pamphlets, mugs and posters.

The event takes place on Monday 3 March 2025, 10.30am & 1.30pm, tickets FREE, £10, £15. Suitable for 16+ (under 18s must have an accompanying adult).
