Girlhood is Manchester’s go-to community for women.
we host weekly events across fitness, creativity, culture and lifestyle - designed for women who want to meet new people, try new things, and genuinely enjoy themselves while doing it.
founded by four best friends who know firsthand that making friends as an adult isn’t always easy. we’ve been there - and Girlhood was created to change that.

Testimonals
“I moved to Manchester not knowing many people and honestly found it harder than I expected to make proper friends. I came across Girlhood on Instagram and booked onto an event on a bit of a whim and I’m so glad I did!
Everyone was so welcoming and it didn’t feel forced or awkward at all. I ended up meeting a group of girls I instantly clicked with, and now they’re genuinely my closest friends. We do everything together, from weeknight dinners to last-minute plans, and it’s made the city feel like home in a way it never did before.”
- Aaliyah
“Joining Girlhood genuinely changed my life. I went to my first event not knowing a single person and was so nervous, but within minutes I felt comfortable.
Fast forward a year and the girls I met that day are now my closest friends - we speak every day, go on holiday together, and have been there for each other through everything. Two of them are even going to be my bridesmaids next year, which still feels surreal considering we were once complete strangers.
If you’re even thinking about going to an event, just do it, it might end up being the best thing you ever do!!”
