Women of the World festival, ‘WOW’, has toured across the globe to celebrate women, girls and non-binary individuals alike. For the first time, they’ll be bringing their message to Manchester with performances and talks from the likes of comedian Sara Pascoe, Mel B, Jordan Stephens and Miquita Oliver.

Founded by Jude Kelly the convention has travelled across six continents to 45 locations, spreading its powerful messages. Now in its 14th year, WOW takes place next door to Union at Factory International’s Aviva Studios, and will be taking place this weekend, 24-26 May.
