Celebrating International Women's Day Free Event

Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council is celebrating International Women’s Day with a packed timetable of classes and activities to support and empower women and girls. The free event will take place at Lagan Valley LeisurePlex on Wednesday 4 March, from 10am–1pm.

The morning will kick off with a programme of energising exercise classes suitable for all ages and abilities, offering a fun and supportive way for everyone to get active together. Following the fitness sessions, attendees are encouraged to visit the Social Café, where a number of guest speakers will share inspiring advice over a cup of tea or coffee.

Information stands from Volunteer Now and Women’s Aid will also be available, providing an opportunity to learn more about the vital support services offered within the community.
In addition, representatives from the PSNI will be on hand to provide advice on women’s safety and ongoing initiatives to tackle violence against women and girls.

Speaking ahead of the event, Councillor Tim Mitchell, Chair of the Communities & Wellbeing Committee, said, “I’m excited for people to come along to this year’s International Women’s Day event, which promises to be an insightful and motivational event. I’m particularly looking forward to hearing from our guest speakers and celebrating the incredible women in our community.”
