International Women’s Day 2026<\/h3>\n

The \u201cPurpling the Park\u201d\u00a0 event has become a popular part of SI Kenilworth and District\u2019s year and March 8th 2026 has been no different.<\/p>\n

It was great to hear from two passers by that \u201cLOTS of people\u201d read the messages we put out around the park. The variety of voices and different points of view expressed in those posters make it an entertaining and thought provoking walk through the park but the strong message is the same \u2013 of course women have something to say and demand equal rights and justice \u2013 why would any person think otherwise!<\/p>\n

A Helping of Friendship with a Dash of Poetry on the side<\/h3>\n
A wonderful afternoon of friendship, food, wine and poetry. What an inspired way to celebrate International Women’s Day. The poetry ranged from AA Milne to Christopher Marlowe with many wonderful stops along the way and it was a hugely enjoyable journey.<\/div>\n
Thanks, as always, Julie.<\/div>\n
