12, 13 & 14 Nov 2010
Ladyfest, the global independent arts festival promoting and celebrating women’s creativity and counter-culture, turns 10 years old this year. To commemorate a decade of Ladyfests in cities across the world including Brisbane, Olympia, Singapore, Jakarta, San Paolo and New Orleans, we want Ladyfest Ten to be the biggest and best yet. Ladyfest Ten takes place from Friday 12th – Sunday 14th at various North London venues, and will involve iconic and emerging female talent from every field.
All profits from the festival will be donated to the wonderful charity, Eaves. Visit their website for more info.
For Book's Sake will be presenting the literary programme at the festival:
The literary events will be taking place in both The Horatia and The Holloway Resource Centre (both within easy walking distance of each other and Highbury & Islington tube and overground stations). Tickets will be on sale from the Ladyfest Ten website from Monday 27th September. Day passes for the festival will be £12.50 each in advance, and as well as the literary event below, will include entry to an extravaganza of other events, including art, craft, comedy and cabaret (but excludes the music events). For the full programme, please see the Ladyfest Ten website.

Thanks so much for the link Nicola, I can't wait for next weekend (although it is now inducing daily panic attacks too!). Are you coming along to any of the festival? Would love to see you if so!
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, I'm quite keen on the 14th Nov line up so quite possibly though does depend on funds.
