The Girl Friday Breakfast Club was established by Kate Reynolds and Anita Taylor to provide a friendly and informal space for women to meet, chat, and support each other. There is no agenda other than hearing from an interesting woman speaker, eating breakfast and drinking great coffee or tea together in Miranda's Coffee Shop at Drawing Projects UK on the last Friday of each month.

The ticket price includes your delicious breakfast at Miranda's. Please book your Girl Friday Breakfast in advance, so we know how many to cater for!

Miranda caters for gluten-free and vegan-friendly guests too.

All women, and those who identify as women, are very welcome to join the Girl Friday Breakfast Club.
