Day tickets are now available for three packed events onFriday, Saturday and Sunday in the Royal Festival Hall. Each three-hour event features a different line-up of talks, performances, panel discussions, debates and more, so you can book to come to all three or attend just one.

In the evening you can choose from stand-alone ticketed events featuring incredible speakers, performers and more.

At WOW, there’s space for discussions ranging from sex to politics, grandmotherdom to divorce, childlessness to career changes. It’s a chance for both the most difficult discussions, and sessions that have you in fits of laughter.

If you identify as a woman or know a woman, WOW is for you.

WOW Festivals are presented by arrangement with Southbank Centre. Please note, WOW events will cover a variety of topics, some that may address sensitive or adult themes. We ask that parents/guardians use their discretion when attending with children under the age of 14.
