The Friends of Victoria Baths

The Friends of Victoria Baths have been campaigning ever since March 1993 to save the Victoria Baths for public use.

Supporting the work of the Victoria Baths Trust, the Friends organise open days and other events at the Baths, carry out work on the building including cleaning up and other minor repairs. We produce a newsletter for members 3 to 4 times a year and Victoria Baths items which are sold at events and by mail order. We are also researching the history of the building. One of our members remembers the early days of the campaign: Jo's Account.

The Friends meet four times a year on Monday evenings at Victoria Baths. Meeting dates for the rest of 2010 are:

Monday 12th July, 7.30pm: Friends AGM and talk on Underground Manchester by Keith Warrender

Monday 27th September, 7.30pm: Talk on the history and development of Harrogate Turkish Baths
