International Women's Day Events

International Women's Day Events

Organising a network event for this International Women’s Day on Friday 8th March? What’s better than supporting a women-led business and booking a Crafty Hen workshop to engage your guests in crafty makes during their time at your event!

For larger events, book a drop-in style craft station and allow guests to create shorter makes amongst other stalls, buffets or talks planned, these can be themed to your brief or can be chosen from the list of our drop-in activities.

Alternatively, bring smaller groups of up to 30 together and create a space for them to build their craft skills and nourish new friendships during a team bonding workshop.
