WOW London Festival is the place for inspiration, community and celebration, as well as frank and life-changing conversations about the things making us rage and rally.

Hear incredible stories from across the world covering sex to finance, climate justice to housing security. And this year, festival-goers have the chance to dive deeper, with events across the weekend dedicated to Boys and Men and exploring how we all work together. Plus, Shameless! creates a coming together of activism and action for the eradication of sexual violence.

Since launching in 2010, more than 150 WOW – Women of the World festivals and events have taken place in 71 locations.

As WOW – Women of the World returns to the Southbank Centre for International Women’s Day weekend, everyone is invited to be part of this unforgettable festival.

How festival tickets work:

Festival-goers can book WOW Day Passes, giving access to dozens of talks, workshops, performances and beyond with a different line-up every day. There are also separately ticketed events featuring some of the world’s greatest thinkers and artists, including Gisele Pelicot & Tarana Burke In Conversation, with more events to be announced. Sign up to the WOW newsletter for all the latest news.

It doesn’t stop there. There are family-friendly events, the return of the WOW Marketplace and plenty of free surprises to explore across the Royal Festival Hall.
