Festival starts in just 20 days!
Programme
We have around ten events planned,
and we're adding them to the programme page on
the website as they are confirmed, and creating Facebook events for all of them
too (although we have a bit of a backlog). Highlights include:
- Women's activism film night
in Bethnal Green
- History picnic in Meath
Gardens
- Sunday lunch at G Kelly's
pie and mash shop on Roman Road
- Suffragette history walk
around Bow
And of course our main event at Toynbee Hall on
Saturday 9 August, with speakers including Laura Pankhurst, Louise Raw, Nimco
Ali and Shahida Rahman, plus suffrage plays, poetry, workshops on
creative writing and film-making, plus storytelling, crafts and facepainting
for children.
Help us spread the word
Can you print and distribute a few of
our flyers and posters in your neighbourhood? Here are the links to
download from:
We also need stewards and
helpers to come down to Toynbee Hall for our main event and help run
the cake stall and the jumble sale and encourage people to fill in
feedback forms. Even if you can only join us for a few hours that would be a
big help. Please email womensmayday@gmail.com
Meeting
Our last open meeting before it all
kicks off is on Wednesday 16 July from 7pm in the meeting room at the Brady Arts Centre on
Hanbury Street in Whitechapel.
Afterparty
We're having
our festival afterparty at The Culpeper pub on
Commercial Street from 6pm on Saturday 9 August.
