The event will include talks from a number of specialists in the field, including Kathy Atherton, Australian MP Frances Bedford, Colin Cartwright, Irene Cockcroft and Helen Pankhurst.
Visitors will also have the chance to view the Dying for the Vote exhibition at the museum on Davison and the Suffragette movement in Surrey.
