Celebrate the end of Women's History Month 2026 by visiting Lucia Morciano’s solo visual poetry exhibition 'In Bloom' in the Makers' Studio at Bruce Castle Museum and Archive.

Join Tottenham artist Mary Yacoob for a gallery talk about her artworks in the current exhibition ‘Getting the Measure of William Bedwell: Maths, Measurement and the Arabic World’.

Taking place during Women’s History Month, Mary’s artworks are inspired by diagrams from the fields of astronomy, mathematics and architecture, fields in which women’s voices remain significantly under-presented. She discusses her cyanotypes, blueprints which present fictional constellation charts, and drawings which reconfigure geometric diagrams into complex layers of form and colour.

Join tour guide Avril Nanton for a walking tour of Tottenham.

The tour starts at Costa Coffee on Tottenham High Road and ends at Bruce Castle Museum. Avril is the author of Black London: History, Art and Culture in Over 120 Places and the Black History London Map.

On this walk, she explores the history of women in Haringey, with a particular focus on Black women who lived, worked in, or visited Tottenham.

This Women's History Month, come along to Bruce Castle Museum and Archive for an evening talk by Dr. Natalie Thomlinson (University of Reading) and panel discussion with the former organisers of the Haringey Women's Employment Project - Carmelita Kadeena-Whyte, Ursula Murray, and Joan Neary.

Women are rarely seen as the primary victims of the unemployment crisis that hit Britain in the 1980s. By 1979, women’s unemployment rates were higher than men’s across the UK. Women's experiences often went unreported - both at the time and later.
