Storyhouse Women Weekend is a celebration of what it means to be a women or a girl in the world today, and a chance to explore and discuss topics that affect anyone who identifies as a woman or a girl. We want to create a safe space to discuss and tackle these issues together.

Previous festivals have included line-ups of incredible women who want to share their stories and experiences with Chester, and events to inspire and enable us to create change. Join us for a weekend of talks, panel discussions, performances, workshops, music, poetry, debates and more, celebrating women and girls and exploring global issues including feminism, careers, domestic violence, Islamophobia, overcoming addiction, women in sport, rape culture, trans experiences and more.

We can’t wait to welcome you all back to Storyhouse Women events once it is safe to do so.
