Enjoy a self-guided tour of Kate Sheppard's house in Ilam, Christchurch.

Sessions start every half hour from 10am with the last session starting at 3pm.

Explore the family home where Kate led a campaign of national and international activism, planning strategies with leading feminists of the time, and pasting together the pages of the monster 31,872-signature women's suffrage petition.

Stroll through the garden where Kate received the telegram on 19 September 1893 informing her of winning the vote for women.
