It takes place at the Kingswood Community Centre in Alberta Close, Corby, on Tuesday, November 27 at 7pm and all are welcome to attend. There is also an open mic session for the second part of the evening where people are welcome to add their voices.

Funding for the event has been provided by the Maypole Fund - a women’s peace fund.

Paula has been organising a series of women’s events across Corby this year to celebrate 100 years since universal suffrage.

She held a month of events at the Rooftop Gallery in the town over the summer and, yesterday (Thursday) Tresham College drama students shared work during workshops with Paula as part of the Celebrating Suffrage Project.
