SWINDON Women's Coalition is organising events for International Women's Day on March 5.

The event, which will take the theme of Women's Health and Wellbeing, will be held from 11am to 4pm at the Broadgreen Centre in Salisbury Street.

The day is sponsored by Swindon Council and it will offer a mixture of information, relaxation and fun to celebrate the gains women have made over the last century.

There will be a wide variety of stalls offering advice and information to women, as well as free workshops on relaxation and alternative health techniques. In addition, there will be entertainment from Bollywood dancers and Caribbean singers and the chance to sample some Asian and Caribbean cuisine.

Parking at the Broadgreen Centre is for disabled drivers only upon request but alternative parking is available in Carfax Street.
