A day of impact. An evening of celebration.

Festival of Women is a one-day conference and evening celebration to amplify the voices and experiences of women across Lancashire.  
Bringing together leaders, partners and communities, the event explores the critical themes of women’s health, wealth and safety. 
​
By day, expect high-profile speakers, thought-provoking workshops, panel sessions, creative performances and a vibrant exhibition space. Our new report evidencing the needs of women in Lancashire will also be launched on the day.

By night, join us for a sparkling celebration featuring welcome drinks, a three-course dinner, and exceptional live entertainment.

Whether you join us for the full experience or choose the part that speaks to you most, this is a space to connect, learn, reflect and celebrate. 

Blackburn Cathedral and The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside are inviting people to take part in the Lancashire Community Craft Project, creating individual textile panels that will be stitched together into a stunning 13-metre table runner celebrating the people, places and wildlife of Lancashire.

We help people find and keep paid employment as part of their recovery, offering personalised support tailored to their preferences, goals and interests.
