Welcome to the first day of Women X 2025!

It’s been a long lead‑up and now we’re finally here in Darlington. If you haven’t grabbed your ticket yet, there are still plenty available online and some screening tickets at the door. 

Doors are open, screens are ready, events queued up – let’s go! 

📅 What’s on today?

🍿 In the morning / early afternoon

• At Darlington Library, the festival kicks off with Among Us (66 min) at 11:00, followed by The Winner Takes It All (60 min) at 12:30, then a Filmmakers Q&A at around 13:30.

• Between 14:00 - 15:00 take a break, stretch your legs, or explore the town centre — plenty of great independent spots to grab lunch!
