**Caroline Lucas,** Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, FGM campaigner **Nimco Ali** and community organiser **Emily Wright** will be joining a panel discussion to explore some of the key issues affecting women today.

You can join a women’s history walk around the Pavilion Estate, the stamping ground of headstrong princesses, era defining queens, writers, artists and businesswomen.

In the exhibition area, Brighton Dome’s flagship outreach project *Miss Represented* will have jewelry making and collage workshops alongside their retrospective work.

In *Dead Reckoning*, artist **Bern O’Donoghue** presents 3,771 miniature boats, each one bearing witness to the death in 2015 of a migrant or refugee who attempted to cross the Mediterranean in their efforts to reach Europe.

Free workshops that can be booked on the day will include *Women’s Self Defence*, *Beatboxing* with UK champion **Bellatrix**, *Sing Your Heart Out*, *Creative Writing* and *Women’s History*. There will also be a room showing all-day films. Browse the information stalls, enjoy the entertainment or learn some new skills.

The Early Childhood Project will keep the 0-12 year olds amused with their all-day children’s activities. Or, pamper yourself with low-cost holistic therapies and retreat to the café bar to relax over tea and cake.

Prepared to be entertained, inspired and empowered!
