This year, for the first time ever, we’re exhibiting AND partnering with the Brighton and Hove Business Show to give City Girls the best possible experience.

All you need to do is…

1. Sign up for this event

2. Register for the show

3. Pop it in your calendar!

4. Collect your extra special City Girl Badge from the entrance OR at our stand if you arrive later than 10.15

5. Say hello to anyone wearing the badge!

Why are we arranging a group trip to the Brighton and Hove Business Show?

Business Shows, also called ‘Expos’, can be an incredibly daunting and lonely experience to start with. You’re going to into a huge exhibition space that’s full of networking opportunities that even the most courageous networkers can find challenging.

By coming along to the Brighton and Hove Business Show as a City Girl, you’re skipping the feeling of loneliness and jumping right in with a whole team of other cheerleaders.

Our team will be there to support and match you with new connections to help you make the very most of the day.

This event will also be a special part of our Loneliness Awareness Week event programme.

Calling all Book Worms! 📚🐛

Join us for our Cardiff Girl Book Club held in 'The Cwtch' in Wales Millenium Centre.

For our next book club, we'll be focussing on the theme of 'Pride' for June and we'll be reading 'De-transition, baby' by Torrey Peters. This one was longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2021.

Refinery29 have described it as 'funny and gossipy and insightful and cutting and absolutely delicious, all while tackling issues from a lens that has been missing from the literary world for way too long', whilst Vogue have said 'If I had the ability to momentarily wipe my memory, I'd use it read De-transition, Baby for the first time'.

So, grab your book (or your kindle!) and join us on the 13th June with our Event Host Chloe to enjoy an evening of talking all things books and great company. Every month the event host will choose a theme and a poll will be created to allow people to vote on which book will be next on our 'to-be-read' list.

There'll be a range of books and a range of themes, maybe you'll find your next favourite author, or a new favourite genre?!

This event is part of Loneliness Awareness Week.
