Every year International Women’s Day seems to grow stronger as more events embrace the celebration of women and those who identify as such. We’ve rounded up just three of our favourites from this year’s IWD.
1. Discounts on female artistry at Affleck’s Palace
There are a number of special deals going on across Affleck’s Palace on Friday to celebrate female empowerment with our favourite being the 10% off all female artists work at Northern Quarter Gallery, who are also currently offering a print of Emmeline Pankhurst by Stan Chow (pictured) to a lucky winner on their socials.
Affleck’s Palace, 52 Church Street, Manchester M4 1PW. See @afflecksfox for more info.
2. Global cinema celebration and more at HOME
HOME will be offering a special weekend of events this International Women’s Day with new film releases, live music, courses, craft and storytelling as well as showing female empowerment in films such as Alien, Maiden and The Kindergarten Teacher.
