A barn has been built in a prominent part of Leeds and it will host a series of special events.
As part of the Leeds 2023 cultural programme, 300 women, girls and non-binary people, have built a spectacular barn in Leeds. It will be based in Cinder Moor for three weeks.
The WOW Barn is aimed at hosting a range of activities, gatherings and events inspired by an aim of an equitable world. The organisers want to celebrate a world in which all women, girls and non-binary people have the space, time, support and permission to live their dreams.

There will be a day-long WOW Barn Festival as well as school visits for children from across West Yorkshire. The WOW Barn Festival will take place on Saturday, May 13 - between 10.30am and 5.30pm.
A spokesperson said: “WOW is a festival that celebrates everything that women, girls and non-binary people do, and takes a frank look at what prevents them from achieving their potential. There’s talks, culture, music, food, workshops and more, with activities for the whole family to get involved in – from learning plumbing skills to visiting our WOW Marketplace. Everyone is welcome, and it’s pay what you decide.”
