An evening event near Ilminster is set to celebrate influential women through storytelling and discussions.
Organised by Women of Wit, Wisdom & Wonder (WofWWW) and ASW Events, the gathering will take place on Wednesday, April 23 at Horton Village Hall.
Kicking off at 6pm, the event will feature storyteller and speaker Penni Blythe, who will be travelling from Northumberland to share her experiences.
Having spent the last 15 years collecting and sharing stories from more than 60 women across the globe, Ms Blythe is prepared to inspire attendees with tales of strength and resilience.
The women of her stories hail from diverse places such as South Africa, the UK, continental Europe, India, the USA, and Scandinavia.
Through these narratives, Ms Blythe plans to shed light on how women, both ordinary and extraordinary, have shaped and continue to inspire our world.
Ms Blythe said: "If you come along, you will go away increasingly curious and thinking about who has made a difference in my life.
"I like to get people to think about things in a new way and break the rules – that's what people go away with."
The event will encourage attendees to bring a symbolic object representing a woman who has inspired them.
A small scrap of material can also be brought along to be sewn into a community quilt using a traditional Japanese technique.
Tickets for the evening are £18 when purchased in advance via eventbrite.com/e/shy-bairns-get-nowt-women-of-wit-wisdom-wonder-tickets-1254394560899 or £20 on the door, cash only.
For alternative booking, call 07887 942303.
Ms Blythe added: "I am feeling excited, I am always apprehensive because it is impossible not to be, but I am excited and because I lived in Somerset for so long it's just lovely to be coming up and doing it somewhere I know so well, also curious about what people will come up with there."
The event promises to be a night of storytelling, wisdom, and community, with the aim of celebrating and uplifting women’s voices.
