This March, to mark International Women’s Day, Weird Women, a creative programme celebrating the strange, the eerie, and the uncanny, is back!
This year, you’ll find a range of writing workshops and an electronic music workshop, all led by inspiring female artists and writers. Whatever your level, these sessions provide a welcoming space for women to explore the weird and wonderful through creativity.
