About

Book your stall at the popular annual International Women's Day (IWD) Festival Derby! Engage with festival visitors, reach a diverse audience and network with other organisations in the Museum of Making's Italian Mill exhibitor space. This is a liberating, award-winning uplifting annual event organised by a non-profit group of volunteers - by the community, for the community; the event brings together local campaigners, public services, charities, unions & support groups, artists, women's enterprise, sports and inspiring role models for a safer, fairer, brighter future for women & girls. Stallholders say that they benefit from being part of the IWD festival by raising awareness of their services, making new contacts, recruiting staff / volunteers / members, trading, and being associated with a positive event, showing a commitment to gender equality and engaging the diverse communities involved. As well as the stalls at the festival, there will be celebrations with live performances, HERstory, crafts, activity tasters, film screenings, workshops and family fun. There will also be a march at 11am-12pm leading everyone via Cathedral Green and into the Museum for 12pm.
