ABOUT US

Everywoman Festival is more than just an event. It’s an uplifting, engaging space designed to help women feel informed, confident and connected at every age and stage of life. We believe that understanding our bodies shouldn’t feel complicated or clinical, it can be inspiring, empowering and even enjoyable. Too often, women are told that changes to their bodies are something they simply have to accept. We’re here to open up conversations about health, break down taboos and empower women across generations.

Our festival combines credible information with feel-good energy. Across one inspiring day, you’ll find expert-led talks, myth-busting sessions, practical workshops and creative experiences designed to make women’s health engaging and relevant. From puberty to menopause and everything in between.

The group is diverse and includes men and women of different ages. There are trees in the background, and some people are holding umbrellas. The atmosphere appears celebratory and joyful.

What makes us different is that we are clinically led and community powered. We bring together up-to-date, evidence-based information from clinicians and health professionals, with the stories, voices and lived experiences of women themselves. We tackle key health issues with credibility, inclusivity and impact, and we’d love for you to be part of it!

Whether you join us to learn something new, explore ways to support your wellbeing or simply enjoy a fun, inspiring day out with friends, Everywoman Festival is where knowledge, joy and community come together. You’ll leave feeling educated, empowered and supported.

OUR STORY

The Everywoman festival was founded by Professor Julie Cornish, a colorectal consultant surgeon with a specialist interest in pelvic health and cancer. Julie set it up after being frustrated at hearing so many similar stories of women accepting symptoms and a poor quality of life and being told their symptoms are normal because of their hormones, that they’ve had a baby or are getting old. We believe that women should know how their bodies work, what can go wrong and where to look for help. 

Dr Google can be a scary place and misinformation/disinformation is an increasing issue, particularly across social media. EWF aims to provide access to evidence based information with expert speakers and signposting to services across the NHS, third sector charities and organisations and private services.

EVERYWOMAN FESTIVAL IS FOR EVERYONE

The Everywoman Festival is open to anyone with an interest in women’s health, irrespective of gender, sex, age, or identity. We encourage everyone to be part of the conversation!

While some talks focus on topics that specifically affect cis women and people assigned female at birth, many sessions are relevant, welcoming and valuable for all. Women’s health topics affect a range of people, and we’re committed to creating an inclusive, respectful environment for everyone who attends.

The Everywoman Festival is about education and empowerment, offering preventative support for some and practical help for others. Whether you're looking to understand your own body, learn how to better care for it, or support the health of someone you love, there’s something here for you.
