“International Women's Day is a special moment to reflect, recognize and celebrate the incredible women in our lives and our community,” said Sarah Clark, owner of 9-11 interiors at Malton's Marketplace.
“The establishment and growth of 9-11 interiors has been a journey full of challenges, learning and growth, but one of the best parts of all of that is part of a wonderful, supportive network of women making a difference in our town.
“From the flowing Prosecco in Parnaby's saddlery and flock exchange, Christine looks forward to seeing things like the gorgeous pink scenery at Gallery Malton, a pink bouquet of Topiary Tree Florist, and the pink cupcakes of Malton.
Brass Castle Brewery at Yokers Gate celebrates International Women's Day for free beer.
On Saturday, March 8th, women will be asked to visit the brewery's Malton Tafaus for free beer on the day (including alcohol-free beer) and take a tour of the beer production facility.
International Women's Day is marked worldwide every year to celebrate women's social, economic, cultural and political achievements. It also emphasizes the continued need to accelerate women's equality across the board. For centuries, women have played an important role in brewing beer, but their contributions have often been overlooked.
Ellis Walsh of Brascastle Brewery said: “Today, women are regaining their status in beer, rebuilding the industry once again, embracing new flavours, perspectives and innovations. International Women's Day is a great opportunity to celebrate the role of women in the history of brewing and grow glass! We look forward to welcoming women to Tap House on Saturday, March 8th. We also plan to do some tours of the brewery to give visitors insight into the science and crafts behind brewing.”
