An unforgettable evening where the most powerful words written by women leap from the page to the stage – blending comedy, insight, and inspiration.
To celebrate 30 years of the greatest celebration of women’s creativity in the world – the Women’s Prize for Fiction – some of the UK’s most compelling voices, Malala Yousafzai, Sheila Atim, Sheila Hancock, Lesley Sharp, Kate Mosse, Lenny Henry, June Sarpong, Emily Berrington, Cariad Lloyd, Emily Beecham, Sara Pascoe, Tim Wallers and Deborah Frances-White take to the stage to read extraordinary writing by women. These live readings will celebrate the words and voices of those who have shaped and inspired us.
Taking place as the finale of the inaugural Chelsea Arts Festival, the evening will raise funds for the Women’s Prize Trust to empower women’s voices and storytelling.
Expect an evening of heart and humour, of unforgettable performances and powerful words – all in support of a future where every woman’s voice counts.
Each ticket holder will receive a gift from The White Company and a book from Women’s Prize.
