Tea and Revolution go hand in hand.
From tea parties in 18th century America, to secret suffragette meetings in Britain, tea was always a catalyst for the women’s movement. Under the guise of social gatherings, women met to inspire and organise – coordinating the activism that led to equal voting in 1928.
In 2023, the fight for women’s equality is far from over. Inspired by Emmeline Pankhurst’s rallying cry “I incite this meeting to rebellion!”, we ask: What remains to be done, and how are we going to do it?
We Incite This Meeting… is an evening of storytelling in many forms, created by ten women with strong voices, bold ideas and a serious love of tea.
