Southsea Girls

31/01/2026

Two whole years of organising events, bringing women together, supporting local causes, spotlighting small businesses, collaborating with independent venues, and watching friendships blossom 🌼

Southsea Girls remains one of the most challenging, yet one of the most rewarding, projects I’ve ever been involved in.

As you’ll probably know (because I bang on about it at any given opportunity), I never planned for Southsea Girls to become this big; these past two years have been an enormous exercise in ‘learning on the job’, and/or ‘learning the hard way’ 🫠

There has definitely been more than one occasion where I’ve hovered over the website ‘delete’ button for the sake of an easier life (and an earlier night 😂)

But then we have events like yesterday… 🥹

A room full of familiar faces and new ones, laughing, sharing stories, taking selfies, swapping numbers, and I remember my ‘why.’ ( will like that one ♥️)

If you can look around your life and you see even one person who is in it because you were once brave enough to take the leap and attend an event, then you’ll know firsthand how important it is that Southsea Girls continues to exist, for all those women who are yet to find their people.

And if you’re a venue or business who have provided us with a safe, welcoming space, a platform or a voice over the past two years, you’ve made all of this possible.

Southsea Girls is literally nothing without those who support us in the wider community.

Thank you for being part of our story.

I think 2026 might just be the best one yet ♥️

PS…We have also got a rather exciting, first of its kind event taking place on Sunday 8th March… more will be revealed soon 👀

SOUTHSEA GIRLS 2026 🙌

We’re (almost) ready to kickstart another year of Southsea Girls with our birthday party on Friday 30th January at the place where it all started TWO years ago!

Year one was a whirlwind; a community that grew overnight, with hundreds of women joining us for events throughout the year.

Year two was equally fabulous, but also my first year freelancing, so fewer events, and a little bit of taking a step back to see what still worked, and what needed changing up.

Which brings us to... YEAR THREE!

🎨 The year of disconnecting from digital, and connecting with conversations through a series of new, analogue-inspired events for slowing down, and embracing the ‘now.’

🎀 The year of collaborating with even more local venues, businesses and brands as we work with more Southsea indies!

🌿 The year of crafty coffee dates, yoga mornings, girl dinners and seaside strolls - more variety meaning more opportunities to meet people and be involved.

🎈... and the year of continuing the Sip & Socials you know and love.

Whether you’re an active Southsea Girl still enjoying the socials, or out in the world embracing the friendships you made with us along the way, thank you for being part of our story 😉

You can find all the new events on our website (link in bio) or keep an eye on our social media channels for meet-ups as they go live.

See you soon xo
