Celebrating International Women's Day

International Women's Day is a global holiday celebrated on March 8! It's a focal point in the women's rights movement and helps shed light on gender inequality, reproductive rights issues and violence and abuse against women.

The message of this years International Women's Day campaign is to INSPIRE INCLUSION!

To celebrate let us take a look at some of the amazing women in the borough of Richmond upon Thames and their dynamic businesses. We thought that we would highlight some of the events taking place to aid the celebration of International Women's Day. Thank you and we wanted to give a special shoutout to the women who love the borough and showing it off as much as we do!

Take a look at a few of the female owned businesses in Richmond upon Thames:

Ted Lasso Tours – Emmy McMorrow

Ted Lasso Tours in Richmond is owned by Emmy McMorrow and was the first tour established in Richmond born from her love of the hit US comedy, Ted Lasso. The tour is extremely popular amongst Americans and has a 5-star rating on TripAdvisor, further highlighting how amazing this idea is. Since launching in 2022 Emmy had been inundated with bookings and we hope to see the tour go city wide in the future, taking visitors to other parts of London used in the show.
