7 Ideas for International Women’s Day Events

With March just around the corner, International Women’s Day is firmly in Team Goho’s sights and we couldn't be more thrilled! 

It's the perfect opportunity to marry our two greatest passions: events and celebrating women! But let's face it, as much as we adore putting together events that highlight, uplift, and honour women, sometimes IWD festivities can fall a bit flat, becoming predictable and, dare we say it, boring. 

Well, fear not. We refuse to let that happen. That's why we've whipped up a stellar lineup of unique and captivating event ideas that are guaranteed to shake things up and make this IWD one for the memory books.

So, without further ado, let's dive into these game-changing concepts because let's be honest, you know your team deserves nothing but the best this International Women’s Day.

Brunches and Motivational Speakers 

There’s nothing women love more than a delectable brunch, unlimited drinks and heart-to-heart chit-chat. Inviting your team to celebrate women with an afternoon of bubbles and brunch, and a side of motivational speakers is bound to go down a treat. Choose speakers who can share stories of success, resilience and empowerment to resonate with attendees on a personal level. Your team will take away insights and motivation to pursue their own goals and dreams while making meaningful connections, making it an ideal event for International Women’s Day.


Spa Day and Wellness Retreats 

Organising a spa day for your clients or team is a fantastic way to celebrate International Women’s Day. In the fast-paced world we live in, women are often expected to juggle far too many roles and responsibilities. We think they deserve a little time to relax. Not only does a spa day centre around relaxation and rejuvenation, but it also serves as a reminder of the importance of self-care and mental health. This idea will not only pamper your guests and promote physical and mental wellness but also provide a peaceful escape from their day-to-day lives whilst acknowledging the hard work women have achieved.


Terrarium Making

Allow your team to connect with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of the big city by hosting a peaceful, engrossing and unique terrarium-making class. Your guests will have the opportunity to create their own miniature ecosystem, selecting plants and arranging landscapes to replicate their personal style. This event is great for fostering relationships within your team by exploring their creativity with others outside of the workplace. 


Networking Lunch or Dinner

Providing an open and safe environment for women from different industries to connect, share experiences and support each other professionally and personally is a great way to celebrate IWD. On the 8th of March, Goho will be hosting a three-course networking dinner, where each plate represents a bloody brilliant and inspiring British businesswoman. These events foster a great environment where women can come together and have meaningful conversations surrounding their current issues. 


Women’s Craft Fair

Why not support women in all areas of business this IWD and host a craft fair in your office? The idea: invite local, female business owners to showcase and display their creations to you and your team. This idea is a fantastic way to platform female artists, their creativity and talents. Guests will have the opportunity to browse and purchase unique handmade goods, which can range from jewellery and clothing to handmade ceramics and home decor. 


Volunteering at a Women's Charity

One beautiful way to observe IWD is to give back. Take your team on a journey of compassion by donating time and skills to organisations dedicated to supporting women’s rights. This could be mentoring young women, providing support services to victims of domestic violence or advocating for gender equality.

 
Girls Only Games Night!

One low-cost and effective team-building exercise to consider is to host a fun evening of puzzle-solving, quizzes and challenges based around the best thing in the world - WOMEN! Situated in a venue of your choice, each puzzle, quiz or challenge should be designed to highlight the different aspects of women’s rights and history encouraging guests to think critically and creatively whilst having fun. Not only does this create a space for critical thinking on women’s issues but also provides an educational space for people who may not know so much about women’s history.

If any of these ideas have sparked your interest, and you'd rather not get tangled in the web of event planning, just drop us a line! We're all set to roll up our sleeves and sprinkle a little Goho magic on your International Women’s Day event, making it unforgettable, and hassle-free!
