The Silver Ribbon Trail will be launched at Chapter Edgbaston, by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Councillor Maureen Cornish JP at 4:00pm on 8 September 2022.

Join us for a mile walk with 100 strong and elated women coming together in solidarity, their every step led by vibrant musicians, tying beautiful silken ribbons along the way in honour of all WAITS survivors. 

Not only this, on every decorated tree there will be motivational posters celebrating the great women who have overcome adversity or have achieved for the City of Birmingham.

All the way through the trail, we will be replenished and refreshed with light refreshments, ice cream, mocktails, prosecco and cocktails by some of Birmingham’s iconic bars and restaurants; Chapter Edgbaston, Heidi’s Broad Street, The Rep and Dishoom euphoric poets, dancers, and a host of incredible inspiring female speakers will send the atmosphere soaring to the heavens at every single stop.

We will journey from Five Ways to Brindley Place, we will become immersed in the breathtaking ‘PoliNations’ art installation, decorating our last tree at St Philips Cathedral at 6:30pm, before the most hedonistic and inexhaustible among you will no doubt enjoy the Silver Ribbon after party at The Florence, the most unapologetically fun loving end to a night imaginable.
