📷Community Photograph:
We’ll be working with a local photographer Anna Chrystal Stephens to create a Trowbridge community photograph. Women are invited to have their portrait taken during the event, these will be collated into a collage and shown at the end. This element isn’t mandatory; however we strongly encourage everyone to take part in this celebration of community and womanhood by stepping in front of the lens.

🍽 Refreshments by Wafaa and Storehouse Café:
We’re excited to be inviting local chef Wafaa back for another International Women’s Day event. She’ll be providing some complimentary snacks on the day, and teas and coffees will be available to purchase from the wonderful Storehouse Café.

🎟Free Admission:
This event is open to all, and admission is absolutely free! We believe that empowerment and inspiration should be accessible to everyone. Join us in creating an inclusive space where people from all walks of life can come together to share, learn, and celebrate each other. This event is for ages 15+.

🌈Aim: Capturing and Celebrating Community:
