The WOW Foundation is recognized for organizing the largest and most inclusive festivals dedicated to celebrating women, girls, and non-binary individuals globally.

The UK-wide WOW Girls Festival tour will conclude with a special event at Buckingham Palace, featuring WOW’s President, Her Majesty The Queen, on March 12, following International Women’s Day on March 8.

The WOW Girls Festival Bus will park up at the Palace for the event, and Her Majesty will meet young people who have taken part in the Festival.

About the Festival tour 

The WOW Bus will take WOW workshops and activities to all corners of the UK, reaching young people from all backgrounds in the heart of their own communities. With a focus on girls, but including all young people, activities from the Bus are designed to build resilience, wellbeing and good mental health.

Funded through a partnership with BBC Children in Need, the WOW Bus is an interactive space created with and for young people, working with Getaway Girls in Leeds and artist/designer Emma Hardaker. Throughout the WOW Bus, you can take part in a creative exploration of gender equality, through play, reading, digital experiences and a recording studio. Alongside this, the WOW Bus will also host facilitator sessions, WOW Think Ins, WOW Speed Mentoring and panel talks and discussions in locations around the UK.
