Nail art is a creative expression much like tattoos are and it’s something that people of all genders and no gender love to get on board with! With this in mind, get down to The Disappearing Chin and pick a can from our curated selection and get your nails painted in a matching style.

The cans have all been brewed by female-led breweries. The nails are being done by the wonderful @thenailandbeautynerd and @lucyhainsworthbeauty. The whole event inspired by @ales_n_nails.

Tickets are £45 including the beer and nails. OPEN TO ALL. Some walk ins may be available.

Our panel:

• Shreena Gobey, Women’s Night Safe Coordinator, Women’s Lives Leeds.

• Farah Benis, Founder and Managing Director of FFA Security Group and Board Member of a board member of Chalk Back, a youth-led organisation that is committed to tackling public street harassment.

• Elysia O'Neill and Della Claydon, Founders of The Egalitarian, an organisation working to create a fairer society through community-led, data-driven projects and training, including certification for the night time economy.

6pm, £5 (includes nibbles!) | BOOK HERE (Only 10 places up for grabs!)

Casual, fun filled bottle-(or can!)-share hosted by HUSK’s own Immy & WOT legend Nichola Bottomley.

Simple really - everyone brings something *special* to share, everyone gets to taste something *special* and we all talk beer and less serious things and have heaps of fun.

Bonus points if you bring something from a brewery that champions women / non-binary folk in the brewing industry!

WOT do you mean by something *special*?

Don’t be put off - we're not expecting the rarest, oldest, smallest batch beers (although if you have any, feel free!). Just bring something you really like, or you'd love to share, or maybe you've been waiting on something like this to crack open that certain something? Failing that, pop in the shop and we can help you out.

Capacity is very limited so we're asking for £5 to reserve your space. We'll use it to get some Pizza Social pizza & nibbles in to share!

Women belong in beer - except, the beer, brewing and hospitality industry doesn’t always make it seem that way. In our fight for equality, and a diverse beer, brewing and hospitality industry, we need role models. Game changers that inspire, and lead by example. Too often, women’s stories in beer that make headlines or podcasts are focused around trauma. What happened to us, rather than what is happening with us.

Instead, this year, WOTFEST has chosen 2023’s ‘Ones to Watch’. Written by Emmie Harrison-West.
