Storyhouse Women is a festival celebrating women, girls and non-binary people highlighting the local, national and international issues facing women across the world.

The festival sees events, performances, workshops and activities happening in and around Storyhouse and we want you to help is programme it!

During the weekend of Friday 10 – Sunday 12 March we want to fill the spaces in Storyhouse with plenty of events, workshops, performances and panel discussions to inspire, educate and entertain you.

We need your help – we want to know what you want to hear, see and do. If you are keen to be involved, then please come along to one of these sessions listed below. One in Storyhouse and one online. The sessions will be led by Nicola – a community manager for Storyhouse.

At the event you can find out what events have happened in previous years; you will have time to think about new ideas. You will also hear about how you can get more involved and join a focus group which will meet regularly over a 12-month period to discuss plans and have the opportunity to go on visits and/or attend other events (on and offline) for research. This opportunity is open to all ages.

Tuesday 6 September – Garret Bar
If you wish to attend the in-person event at Storyhouse, this is taking place in the Garret bar (Floor 4) which is accessible via stairs and lift. Storyhouse volunteers will be at the front doors to meet and greet you and provide assistance to the garret bar.

If you wish to attend the online session on zoom.com please book a place then the login details will be emailed to you nearer the time.

Wednesday 14 September – Storyhouse and Online
