IWD Walk for Women 2024

The Walk for Women is back again for International Women’s Day 2024.

This walk is an opportunity to come together with family and friends, colleagues – and strangers too – to share our passion for equality and creating opportunities for Manchester women. You’re encouraged to bring along fun, safe and noisy instruments to bang and clang, or make the most of your voice and join us with our chants.

Whether you’re a lone ranger or part of a group, we’d love to see you walking with us: there’s no fee to join the 2024 Walk for Women and anyone can take part.

We’ll be making our way along Mount Street and through Albert Square to Brazennose Street, before turning right into Deansgate and continuing all the way to Manchester Cathedral. There are rest stops along the way and dropped kerbs for wheelchair access. If you’re not a regular walker we’d recommend bringing a bottle of water with you.

We’ll gather to begin our walk on Mount Street, just behind Central Library. We’ll then head through Albert Square onto Brazennose Street, turn into Deansgate then continue all the way down to finish on Victoria Street, right outside Manchester Cathedral. See the route map on this page.

Please dress appropriately for the weather on the day. Refreshments are available to buy from shops and cafes along the route, but we recommend bringing a bottle of water with you.
