Dame Ethel Smyth: The March of the Women

One of the highlights of last year's WOW - Women of the World festival returns as Sandi Toksvig hosts a night of comedy, stories and music inspired by great women.

With Jo Brand, Sharon D Clarke, Jane Glover, Lucy Parham, Mary King, Stevie Wishart and comedian-turned-conductor Sue Perkins, who conducts an all-woman orchestra in the suffragette-composer Dame Ethel Smyth's brilliant March of the Women.

Please note - this event is not included in the WOW Festival Day Pass and therefore should be bought as a separate ticket
