Event Details

We are so excited to announce that tickets are now live for Festival of The Girl 2024! 

In celebration of International Day of The Girl we’re hosting our 6th Festival of The Girl across the weekend of Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th October at The Business Design Centre in Islington, North London.

This year we’re bigger and better than ever, with four sessions to choose from over the weekend, including a lower capacity ‘noises off’ session designed especially for SEND children and their families.

We’re also thrilled to be introducing our first ever Festival of The Girl Awards at this year’s festival. The awards ceremony will take place at the festival on Saturday afternoon. It will involve girls nominating their friends for one of three awards:

  • Inspiring Girl 2024 Award
  • Loyalty and Friendship 2024 Award
  • Leader and Change-maker 2024 Award

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!

Choose your preferred day and time from the calendar below or by hitting the ‘Get Tickets’ button. The 4 sessions are:

  • Saturday 5th October (morning) – 11.30am-1.30pm (2 hour session). This is our SEND session. It will have a reduced attendee capacity and will be quieter than the other sessions.
  • Saturday 5th October (afternoon) – 2-6pm (4 hour session). This is our longest available session and tickets will include access to the Festival of The Girl Awards ceremony.
  • Sunday 6th October (morning) – 9.45am-12.45pm (3 hour session). There is the the option to buy a full day ticket which will cover both Sunday sessions
  • Sunday 6th October (afternoon) – 1.15-4.15pm (3 hour session). There is the the option to buy a full day ticket which will cover both Sunday sessions

We believe in a world where gender stereotypes no longer limit kids’ potential.

With accessible global festivals and campaigns Festival of The Girl was created to empower millions of young girls to breakdown stereotypes with confidence,
while equipping parents and carers with the tools to guide them.

Our flagship festival, happening this October, is packed with workshops and activities aimed at engaging, entertaining, educating and opening the minds of our 7-11 year old girls. This year’s line-up will be announced 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!​​​​​

Mission

We exist because we want to change what it means to be a girl.

We want to remove the limitations gender stereotypes place on girls.  And we want to start this conversation with primary school aged kids, and their grown-ups.

We’ve created global interactive events, campaigns and resources to give girls and their families access to incredible female role models, workshops and activities.

Our headline festivals and pop-ups take place every October coinciding with UN’s International Day of the Girl Child.  All our events are safe environments for girls to have fun, try something new, and most importantly; leave with a boost of self-confidence.

Inclusivity Statement

Festival of The Girl is committed to advancing equality and promoting inclusivity for all young people, regardless of their identity or gender expression.

We are passionate about inspiring girls to believe in their futures and the programme is designed to provide female role models for young people. We believe challenging gender stereotypes and breaking down barriers to inclusion benefits young people of any gender.

While we use the term “girl” to address the barriers that girls face at a young age, our mission is inclusive of trans and non-binary communities, and we encourage young people of any gender to take part.
