Let's Lift the Curfew together, ladies!

If you wish to mark the fourth year of Let’s Lift the Curfew, feel free to join the local Banbury event, start conversations and help ensure the realities many women face after dark are heard by the communities, organisations and leaders who shape our public spaces.

Every year, the clocks go back – and every year, women’s worlds shrink. Safety concerns affect where they go, when they go, who they go with and whether they can be active outdoors at all.

261 Fearless Club Banbury is thrilled to support Let's Lift the Curfew, the national movement from This Girl Can, and organise a free, women-only fun running gathering.

When: Monday 26 October 2026 6.45pm-7.45pm

Where: Woodgreen Leisure Centre, Woodgreen Avenue, Banbury OX16 0HS

·  5km circular route through the streets of Banbury

·  All abilities and paces welcome – walk, jog, run together

· Opportunity to gather and chat afterwards over cakes.

·  Free parking, toilet available in leisure centre

Last year event gathered approx. 30 women, glowing, flashing, gleaming, dazzling in the Banbury night. Looking forward to creating even more sparkling fun this year and making the serious topic seen.

Please arrive early to allow enough time to find the famous purple crew and put your lights on!
