In celebration of International Women’s Day, The Island Quarter has announced an all-female line up of local musicians for an event collaborating to raise money for Nottingham domestic abuse charity JUNO Women’s Aid.

Taking place inside canalside destination Binks Yard on Saturday 8 March, the free-to-attend event will feature an evening filled with inspiring music to celebrate the talent, resilience, and creativity of women in the Nottingham community. The event will be headlined by local rising star singer-songwriter Georgie, who will be performing from 4pm to 5:30pm, followed by Jessica Clarke-Wheatley, an established Nottingham singer, from 6pm to 7:30pm.

Liam Morgan, business development manager at 1 The Island Quarter, said: “Having supported JUNO for several years as a cause close to our hearts, International Women’s Day is the perfect opportunity to raise further awareness and funds for the charity, which offers incredible support and safety, empowering women across Nottingham.

“The Island Quarter is committed to fostering inclusivity and supporting meaningful initiatives across Nottingham, and we’re excited to welcome everyone to Binks Yard for an amazing evening with JUNO to mark this momentous day for women.”

As part of the celebration, The Island Quarter will be donating ten per cent of the net revenue generated in the evening across the bar and restaurant to JUNO, supporting its critical work helping women and children experiencing domestic abuse.

Tasarla Larner, fundraising and communications manager at JUNO, said: “We are incredibly excited to be part of this inspiring event and grateful to The Island Quarter and Binks Yard for their continued support. Events like this highlight the strength, creativity, and resilience of women in our community, including the courageous survivors we work with every day. Together, we can create a future where women and children can live safely and thrive.”
