Dundee Women’s Festival is back with a two-week-long programme of events celebrating how ‘Today’s Women Shape Tomorrow’s World’.

With events covering seedbombing to stand-up comedy and bikes to burlesque, this year’s Dundee Women’s Festival builds on the celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women recognised annually on International Women’s Day on 8 March.

Running from Sat 5 until Sun 20 March, the Festival’s events and workshops aim to expand networks, spread knowledge, build confidence, highlight women’s historical achievements, and create space for fun and learning.

Here is a small taste of what’s on offer throughout March!
