The Black Ballad Weekender 25

The Black Ballad Weekender is back! The ultimate lifestyle festival, celebration & sanctuary for black women in Britain and beyond opens its doors again on 1st & 2nd August!

After the success of the first #BBWeekender & seeing how happy black women were to be in a space that was just for them, we had to bring it back even bigger & better.

The 2 days was really amazing! I honestly learnt so much and everyone was friendly and nice!! Whitney, London
It really felt like a mini Essence festival, bringing us great topics, a place for us and big energy
I had so much fun- it was everything I hoped for and more Marva, South East England

It is a space that is so important and very needed. I am so glad I attended. Davinia, London
I am so happy I was able to make it down to London for the event and had a wonderful time. Funmi, North East England
The variety of workshops was excellent. I loved shopping Black owned businesses, finding out my blood type, all of the freebies and just being around other Black women. I felt safe, seen and empowered Kanisha, West Midlands
It was one of best well organised black events I have ever been. I told my family attending felt like a big hug Sonia, London
