The first of the month-long series of events is our official launch in Room 11, Rochester Adult Education Centre, Eastgate, on Saturday, 1st March 2025.
We have inspiring speeches and a performance from the Brompton and Invicta Military Wives Choir, with a chance to meet the team behind Medway Women’s History Month, and find out more about the programme ahead.
Spaces are free and we’d be grateful if you could reserve a space – you can make a donation if you wish. We hope to at least cover expenses for our guests.
Tea, coffee and snacks will be available for cash during the event.
Please note, we’ve been advised that the centre’s lifts are out of order this weekend. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Doors will open at 1pm with the following schedule:
