Art trail celebrates International Women’s Day in Biggleswade
30 January 2025Businesses in Biggleswade are coming together to celebrate this year’s International Women’s Day (IWD) on Saturday 8 March 2025 by hosting a family-friendly art trail throughout the town.
A variety of works by talented local women artists – from sculpture to paintings, textile art to mixed-media creations – will be displayed in shops, cafes and other venues around Biggleswade. Striking out from a pop-up International Women’s Day stall in the market square, intrepid art-hunters are invited to wander around the town while working their way through a list of cryptic or simple clues in order to identify the different locations hosting the artworks.
The art trail challenge runs from 9am to 2pm on Saturday 8 March, with an entry fee of £1 per quiz sheet, and prizes for those who correctly identify the most locations.
Some of the artists are offering work for sale both at the pop-up IWD stall and after the event, with a percentage of funds raised from this, along with the proceeds of the entry fees, to be donated to domestic abuse support organisation Refuge. On any given day, Refuge supports thousands of women and their children across the country, helping them to overcome the physical, emotional, financial and logistical impacts of abuse and rebuild their lives free from fear.
For more information, if you’d like to host or supply a piece of art for the trail, or donate a prize, please contact Biggleswadeiwd@gmail.com
International Women’s Day 2025 is encouraging people across the world to #AccelerateAction to speed up women’s equality. One of the best ways to forge equality for women is to understand the strategies, resources and activities that positively impact women’s advancement, and support and elevate their implementation.
