Women's Night Walk

On Friday 3rd December, we are inviting the women of north Trafford to join us to call for an end to violence against women and girls, by joining our Women’s Night Walk.

In partnership with the Women’s Equality Party, Trafford Domestic Abuse Service (TDAS) and the Women of Ryebank Fields, the walk will pass through a number of Stretford’s green spaces, including Longford Park and Turn Moss Playing Fields, as we call for greenspaces to be safe spaces for women and girls.

The walk will begin from Ryebank Fields at 6.30pm and will cross Turn Moss Fields. Please dress appropriately in sturdy shoes and bring a torch if you have one!

The walk will end at 7.30pm with a candlelit vigil outside Stretford Public Hall, where we will light candles in memory of all of the women murdered this year.

The walk will finish with an after party and fundraiser for Trafford Domestic Abuse Service (TDAS), with music, poetry, drinks and dancing in the Stretford Public Hall ballroom.

Dogs are welcome on the walk but not in the hall.

Venue description

The Hall is a Grade II-listed Victorian building. There is an access ramp to the Hall’s main entrance on Chester Road and step-free access to the building using our side entrance on Dorset Street. We have a lift which services all publicly-accessible floors in the building. We have accessible toilets on both the ground floor and the first floor.  Most large events take place in our Ballroom which is on the Hall’s first floor and can be accessed by lift. Unfortunately, we do not have a Hearing Loop at the Hall at present.

Parking & transport

There are two disabled parking spaces adjacent to the Hall on Dorset Street. We also have two dedicated disabled parking bays in our car park, which is just off Dorset Street. If you are arriving by taxi, they can pull up alongside the Hall on Dorset Street or can use the Hall’s car park for drop-off / collection.

There is a bus stop outside the Hall on Chester Road which is serviced by several local bus routes (routes 79, 253, 255, 256, 263, 272 and 277). The Hall is also a short distance from Stretford tram stop. Visit the Transport for Greater Manchester website for maps and timetables for both buses and trams.

Assistance dogs

We welcome assistance dogs in the Hall but please inform us in advance if you intend to bring an assistance dog to an event. We will require evidence that your dog is registered with an organisation that is a member of Assistance Dogs UK.

Personal assistants & carers

We recognise that some visitors might require the support of a personal assistant. In these instances, we are happy to offer an extra ticket, free of charge, to deaf and disabled visitors. Please contact our Community Programme Coordinator, Michelle Darwin, for more information about event access for carers: michelled@stretfordpublichall.org.uk.

If you have any questions about access to the Hall, or you want to discuss your requirements with a member of staff, please contact the Hall’s manager Kate McGeevor: kate@stretfordfordpublic.hall.org.uk; 07926 686224.
