Owning the skin you’re in will be celebrated at the events with appearances from Deirdre Chestnutt, Unique Personal Stylist and Nuala McMenamin, Adorn Bespoke Styling, who will both be encouraging women to feel confident within themselves.

Chair of the Council, Councillor Paul McLean is delighted the Council is highlighting women and their significant achievements with the events. He said, “Women have played an extremely important part in history over the last 100 years, and it is always important to ensure that we shine a light on their contributions and that we tell their stories. These two events are an opportunity for us to do just that and I am especially looking forward to hearing the presentation on the achievements of women across the past century”.

“I am delighted that the Council is donating all money raised from the events to the Air Ambulance Northern Ireland to help the charity continue its life-saving work. I would encourage residents to attend the events to help support such a worthy charity. Tickets will sell out fast so book yours now before they’re gone. I’m looking forward to two great nights out on the 29 and 31 March.”
