About this Event
Stone the Crones is about recognising the energy, wisdom, talent and creativity of older / aging / elder women. Bristol’s women have long been at the cutting edge of creativity in the city – it is important that as they age their experience, skills, cultural capital and strong fierce voices are not lost.
Expect open mic slots and two headlining sets from established older / aging / elder women poets / spoken word performers - names to be announced...
Audience is open to all - every age, gender and community is welcome. There may be some audience participation and games but don't worry there will be no pressure - this is a welcoming, friendly, supportive event with feel good vibes.
Doors open 7pm for a 7.30pm start.
After the formal event there will be time to hang out and socialise to a backing track of classic 80s tunes.
The venue is the gorgeous café at Windmill Hill City Farm, spilling out into the farmyard if the weather is good. There will be bar snacks, hot & cold drinks & alcohol available to purchase at the counter.
If the charge for this event makes it inaccessible for you please contact the organiser for a discount code / free place.
