Come and enjoy an afternoon of poetry for International Women’s Day hosted by Josephine Lay for the Gloucestershire Poetry Society. Speakers will include: Alby Stockley, Angela France, Sharon Larkin, Sharon Savoury, Tish Camp and Zoe Brooks with others.

International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.
International Women’s Day (IWD) has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organisation specific.
