Taking place this weekend, the Festival of The Girl is a two-day event aimed at educating, entertaining, and empowering young girls between the ages of 7 and 11.

The sixth edition of the Festival of The Girl on 5 and 6 October will feature a wide range of inclusive activities and events aimed at broadening girls' horizons, building up their confidence, and challenging gender stereotypes. Accompanied by their parents, daughters will be able to try everything from coding and art to sports and engineering, as well as learn about periods, body image, activism, and more.

The 2024 Festival of The Girl at the Business Design Centre is comprised of four sessions across the weekend, including a SEND session and the main session on Saturday, which features the Festival of The Girl Awards ceremony. You can find out more about the festival and book tickets here.
