AN EMPOWERING event dedicated to shedding light on menopause is due to take place on Friday in Cirencester.

The Menopause Fayre returns to the Royal Agricultural University from 2pm to 7pm.

Organisers say they aim to break the silence surrounding menopause, foster understanding and provide valuable resources.

The free event will be opened by Cirencester mayor Sarah Orr and will include representatives from You, Me, and the Menopause Group.

There will be free parking available next to Boutflour Hall.
