Doctors, clinical experts and campaigners are bringing candid and honest conversations on women’s health to a pop-up festival taking place in Scotland this weekend.
A catwalk show aimed at demystifying contraception, an obstacle course testing knowledge of gynae anatomy and a panel talk on menopause are some of the events visitors can get involved with at Everywoman Festival, joining this year’s Meadows Festival.
The free two-day programme is taking place on 6 and 7 June in a series of tents, pop-ups and stages at The Meadows, Edinburgh.
Organisers are encouraging people of all ages to attend and learn more about women's health.

World-leading experts from the University of Edinburgh will deliver activities and take part in panels on a range of topics, including menstrual health, puberty, cancer awareness, menopause symptoms and sexual health.
Other guest contributors include BBC Radio 4 broadcaster Emma Barnett and members of the Hibernian Women’s Football Team.
The special pop-up event has been organised in partnership with the University of Edinburgh’s Medical School, supported by funding from the Scottish Government.
Edinburgh’s organising team comprises University academics and clinicians, led by Mhairi Collie, Consultant Colorectal Surgeon.
