FAQs
Everyone! Whether you would like to gain a deeper understanding of a particular topic or support the women in your life, please come along.
We encourage young women and girls to attend, and those aged 16-25 can even take advantage of our Young Storyhouse Card discount – sign up for FREE here.
Storyhouse is proudly trans-inclusive, and all of the organisations that we are collaborating with share this commitment to inclusivity.
Yes – childcare responsibilities shouldn’t be a barrier for anyone wishing to attend. Children and babes in arms are more than welcome to attend any of the talks in the Storyhouse Theatre or Garret Theatre, but we would advise not bringing children to the smaller workshops where space may be limited.
Storyhouse Women is an informal festival, where you can come and go as you need to.
We understand that some of the topics being discussed may be triggering for some.
Following on from most events, the speakers will be around to answer any further questions in the Garret Bar for approx 30 minutes. Audiences are also encouraged to move to the space to meet like-minded people and continue the conversation.
If chatting isn’t your thing, then you can spend some time at the creative arts table with Lisa Rosetti and artists from Radiate Arts who will be on hand to offer arts expertise to journal, create or simply doodle whilst you spend some down time.
Please note, the Garret Bar will be used as a socialising space throughout the weekend, but will not be open for food or drinks.
