Celebrate International Women’s Day 2025 with Ladies First & Shakespeare Soroptimists

Join us for an unforgettable day of female empowerment.

Ladies First and the Shakespeare Soroptimists are joining forces to host an inspirational fundraising event to mark International Women’s Day.

Hosted by Sally Bee, motivational speaker, broadcaster and author, this celebration in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon on Wednesday March 5 will shine a light on women who are leading the way in business.

We’ll start the day at Stratford-upon-Avon Town Hall, with trailblazing keynote speakers Captain Emma Henderson MBE, former airline pilot and author, and Tamara Harvey, Co-Artistic Director at the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Afterwards, a Q&A with leading businesswomen in our area will offer invaluable insight and motivation for aspiring entrepreneurs and leaders.

Then, we’ll head to the Arden Hotel for a delicious lunch, where we will raise funds for Refuge, a charity that supports women and children escaping domestic abuse.

Tickets cost just £65, including coffee & refreshments and lunch.
