Event information

On Saturday 5th October Porlock will be celebrating International Ada Lovelace Day with its annual “Cream Tea with Inspirational Women”.

Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) is regarded as being the first computer programmer and her achievements are recognised every year with a celebration of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), on International Ada Lovelace Day. Ada Lovelace also has a connection to Porlock, having lived at Ashley Combe, Porlock Weir, now sadly gone.

Porlock celebrates the day, and the local connection, by inviting women from all walks of life to share their inspiring stories and achievements. This year’s speakers are:
Natalie Dyson BEM, CEO of Diversity Voice, and Diane Turner, MATS clinical lead and councillor, Kara Thresher , Alex Prideaux and Heather Goldstraw from the MOD.

Cream Tea with Inspirational Women takes place in Porlock Village Hall, starting at 2.30pm. Tickets are £8 and are available online at https://www.wegottickets.com/event/ (booking fee applies) and from Rosalinde Haw (payment by card or cash) and Porlock Visitor Centre (cash only). Please buy your tickets early, as there will only be a limited number available on the door and the event has sold out every year since it was first held in 2013!
