Sugar & Spice 6 - I Am Woman Hear Me Roar!

Following last year’s celebrations that marked 100 years of International Women’s Day, the Lesbian & Gay Foundation's (The LGF) annual women’s event - Sugar & Spice – is back for 2012!

Now in its sixth year Sugar & Spice is an event for lesbian, bisexual, trans women and their friends, and will take place at the charity's Community Resource Centre on Saturday 10th March (12pm - 6pm) and it is totally free!

Annie Emery, Acting Director of Business Development at The LGF said: "We see 2012 as the year to celebrate the skills women have, as well as acknowledging the real difference women make in all areas of life.

To mark the talents of womankind, this year’s Sugar & Spice will focus on the theme  I Am Woman – Here Me Roar with a diverse range of workshops, encouraging women to share and acknowledge their many talents." 

Workshops will include: circus skills, laughology, relaxation techniques, radio skills with Gaydio, African drumming, self defence, sexual health, and a session on career goals and how women can get to where they want to be.

There will also be wellbeing pop-ins, complimentary therapies (such as massage and reiki), a cafe, people can have their say in the consultation corner, we'll be creating in the legendary LGF craft space and all attendees will receive a free goodie bag.

New to Sugar & Spice this year is the Power Panel - where attendees will have the chance to put their questions to lesbian and bisexual women who have excelled in their chosen fields.

Emery adds: "Sugar & Spice is a fantastic opportunity to meet new people, try new skills, pick up info, air your views, get involved and have loads of fun. Not to mention it’s all free as well!"
