This International Women’s Day, join us for a morning led by words that have comforted and connected millions. We’re thrilled to welcome Sunday Times bestselling poet Donna Ashworth to The Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh.
Donna Ashworth is a Sunday Times bestselling poet and one of the most widely shared voices of modern poetry today. Based in Scotland, Donna’s work has reached millions around the world through social media and her books, offering comfort, hope and connection through beautifully simple, emotionally honest words.
Her journey to becoming a full-time writer was far from conventional. After years spent following different paths — including journalism and running a family business, Donna began sharing her poetry online, initially quietly, never expecting the response that followed. During the pandemic, her words struck a chord globally, and what began as personal expression grew into a powerful platform and a thriving creative career.
Donna’s poetry explores themes many women know intimately: grief and loss, love, resilience, change, and the courage it takes to find and trust your own voice. She writes openly about navigating life’s hardest moments alongside its joys, creating work that feels deeply personal yet universally understood.
At our International Women’s Day, Donna will share her story — not just of creative success, but of vulnerability, growth and the quiet bravery it takes to put your truth into the world. Her talk will resonate with anyone navigating change, rebuilding after loss, or wondering if it’s ever too late to begin again
We’re also delighted to be joined by Trinny London, who will host a live beauty masterclass on the day.
