Join us for an evening of poetry and music to celebrate International Women’s Day, hosted and curated by author, poet, and broadcaster Salma El-Wardany.

It will be a special evening of creativity, connection, and the unmistakable power of women gathering together. There will be performances from the Grammy Award-winner Daisy Chute, outstanding poetry from Sophia Thakur (“One of the most adored poets of our time.” – Vogue), the sell-out sensation, Georgie Jones and two-time national poetry slam champion Maureen Onwunali. Including a special musical guest who is top secret for now, but we promise you, you won’t want to miss them.

Your ticket includes a welcome drink, entry into our raffle, and a beautiful goodie bag filled with Cowshed products. There will also be an auction including original art donated by Sophie Tea, and a restorative weekend away at the Bless Cabin in Norfolk. There will also be cake, because what’s a party without cake?

Come with friends, come solo, or bring your girls. You will be welcomed into a space that is inclusive and open-hearted.

All proceeds support Furnishing Futures, helping us create trauma-informed, fully furnished homes for women and families rebuilding their lives after domestic abuse.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you.

Accessibility information

The Atrium is located in an old industrial building. We have a toilet on the ground floor but it is not wheelchair accessible and we don't have dedicated baby change facilities. We recognise that this is a significant barrier and does not reflect the welcoming, inclusive space we wish to offer. We wish this were not the case and are truly sorry if this prevents you from joining us for an event.

Additional Information

All proceeds from this event and from sales are in aid of Furnishing Futures charity and go directly towards our work creating healing homes for survivors of domestic abuse.

All tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
