Our first Mayven Festival took place in Cornwall in July 2022 and was an extravaganza of comedy, cabaret, festivity and feminism, storytelling and silliness, celebrating the fact that Scary Little Girls has been going for 20 years and we are STILL going strong!
In partnership with Hall for Cornwall we brought over thirty female creatives to eleven venues for fifteen events – explore the programme here.
- It all started with our Artistic Director Rebecca Mordan In Conversation with Jane Claire discussing twenty years of Scary Little Girls, at Hall for Cornwall
