An evening that leaves you feeling glad you said yes to a Thursday night out.

​

Join us for HERstory 2026, a relaxed night at The Suter Theatre featuring powerful real life talks from four local women, plus live music and a great excuse to step out for something a bit different.

 

This is your almost weekend plan sorted.

​

The heart of the evening is the talks. Four women sharing honest, real stories about life, the moments that shape us, and the things we don’t always say out loud. No perfection, no filters, just real people telling real stories in a room full of women who recognise pieces of their own lives along the way.

 

Alongside that, a talented local singer songwriter will bring live music that adds warmth and atmosphere throughout the evening

.

It’s not formal, and it’s not a sit up straight kind of night. It’s a night out where you can come with your besties, your mum, your friends, or that one guy who can handle sitting in a room full of strong women.

 

Some stories will make you smile. Some might land a little closer to home. Some might make you lean over and whisper, “That is literally me.”

 

Bring your people, have a drink beforehand, and settle into one of Nelson’s most beautiful theatres for a night that feels easy to be part of.

 

You may be surprised how many stories feel familiar, or put into words things you’ve felt but never quite said.

 

Whether you’re coming for a night out with friends, something a bit different on a Thursday, or just an excuse to be somewhere that isn’t your couch, HERstory is a night you’ll still be talking about the next day.

 

HERstory is also proud to support the Nelson Women’s Centre and the important work they do for women in our community.
