We're so excited to announce that we are growing our festival this year so we can meet and impact even more girls. Scroll down for all the details but don't worry if you can't make the actual festival as our free activity books will be available in time for the summer holidays.
Festival of The Girl 2024 is returning to the Business Design Centre Islington, North London on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th October. There are four sessions to choose from over the weekend.
​
​
​
We will start to announce the line-up soon but rest assured your girls will experience everything from coding to art, sports to periods, experiments to activism, engineering to body confidence, friendships to sustainability and so much more!

Over the last few years we have heard from families who aren't able to attend our festivals as they are not accessible enough for children with SEND. It is these families we want to welcome at our Saturday SEND session. We are working with experts in this area but if you have a child with SEND and you want to share input for this session please get in touch. You can email us at info@festivalofthegirl.com with 'SEND' in the email subject line.
We are thrilled to be hosting our first ever Festival of The Girl Awards! These awards will involve girls nominating their friends for one of these three awards:
​
-
Inspiring Girl Award
-
Loyalty and Friendship Award
-
Leader and Change-maker Award
​​
With the help of our Festival of The Girl Youth Ambassadors and some of the incredible Festival of The Girl 2024 contributors the winners will be picked and invited to take part in our award ceremony on Saturday 5th October. With some very special guests you don't want to miss out!​
Further details including when nominations will open to follow shortly.
