CRONELINES 2025
Saturday 22 February 2025, 2pm-7.30pm at a secret squirrel location, Sheffield UK
An afternoon celebration of cronehood for women in midlife and beyond!
(Because age is a privilege and life is hard enough!)
Congratulations, you phenomenal woman!
You have been sent this link because a crone or crone-in-training wants to celebrate having got this far through menopause (or out the other side of it!) and wants to honour your friendship in a suitably bat-shit-crazy way.
This is your personal invitation to Crone Club’s afternoon party with a difference!
The day will feature the very best Crone DJs including: DJ Kitty (Society, Speed for Lovers), Crone Juzza (Hoochi Coo, Runaway Girl), Sarah Wilson aka DJ Moonrise (La Luna), Crone Lyn Lockwood and Disco Clare (Disco Choir).
PLUS crone-related spoken word performances from Insta crone model and writer Cathi Rae, Manchester’s Joy France (Aka The Rapping Nana), Vicky Morris (Hive) and a performance by Angelina Abel of Mulembas D’Africa.
What we want to achieve through the event
-
✺
Honour the women who help make your life worth living.
-
✺
Celebrate your own fabulousness and the privilege of reaching the age we are.
-
✺
Dance, laugh and have fun with the crones you know…and connect with new ones!
Includes guest spoken word performances from…
Joy France (Manchester, Afflecks Palace)
(Warning some of Joy’s documentary is a hard watch as she enters a lions den of misogony and ageism.) @JoyFranceWords
