Wine with our women...

On Friday 23 May, we drank 'Wine with our Women.' Actors from across the county met with our audience and told them about their incredible lives.

We had a talk by Jayne Jackson about her use of photography in empowering women and her partnership with us. 

 

Our headline act was Belle Street Duo who got the joint jumping!
