Elevating young girls to be their best
Confidence starts here
The Elevate Festival is a two-day immersive experience for girls aged 8–15 and their carers — set at the iconic central London venue, One Marylebone.
Designed especially for girls and their carers, the festival brings together engaging workshops, educational talks and a curated marketplace driven by passionate experts who understand the modern world girls face today.
From building self-belief to navigating friendships, emotions, and identity, every experience is created to spark insight, courage, and meaningful conversation.
The programme blends shared and individual experiences for the girls and their carers. Some things are meant to be enjoyed together whilst others are designed to allow girls to have their own space and sense of discovery.
This is more than a festival — it’s a shared experience, where confidence grows, connections deepen, and girls are empowered.
We can’t wait to welcome you. Book Tickets Now.

What Sets Us Apart
At the Elevate Festival, girls are supported in developing the skills through thoughtfully curated interactive workshops and guided experiences to help them thrive and build key attributes:
Empathy and understanding others
Encouraging curiosity about other people’s experiences and perspectives, helping girls develop compassion, respect, and deeper connections.
Resilience and coping strategies
Practical tools for navigating setbacks, managing pressure, and building the inner strength needed to handle challenges with confidence.
Communication and friendship skills with kindness
Exploring how to listen, speak honestly, resolve conflict, and build friendships grounded in respect, trust, and kindness.
Emotional intelligence
Supporting girls in recognising and understanding their emotions, building the awareness needed to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively.
Confidence and self-belief
Helping girls recognise their strengths, trust their voice, and feel comfortable expressing ideas, opinions, and creativity in a supportive environment.
By strengthening these foundations early, girls are better equipped to navigate the challenges of adolescence with clarity, confidence, and self-trust. Skills that research shows are essential for wellbeing, strong relationships, and healthy decision-making, as established by the success of the ElevateRA mentoring services.
About The Elevate Festival
Set in the heart of London, the Elevate Festival takes place within the iconic surroundings of One Marylebone — a truly inspiring setting for two days of connection, and growth.
The experience is thoughtfully designed by age, ensuring every girl feels seen, supported, and engaged. Day One welcomes girls aged 8–11, while Day Two is dedicated to girls aged 12–15 — creating space for conversations and experiences that are relevant to each stage of their journey.
The festival has been designed to offer flexibility in both shared and individual experiences. Girls and their parents or carers can come together through immersive workshops that foster connection and understanding, while also having the space to engage in sessions created specifically for just girls or adults making them personally meaningful.
Alongside this, there are dedicated panel talks and sessions designed specifically for girls, as well as spaces created just for parents and carers — offering honest insight, expert guidance, and the opportunity to reflect and learn.
The schedule of workshops will be released one month before the festival. Keep your eyes peeled for an email with a link to book your preferred workshops and times. Get in early there is so much on offer.
The Story Behind Elevate
The Elevate Festival grew out of the work of ElevateRA, a mentorship programme founded by educator and author Ramita Anand.
With more than twenty years of experience working in schools across Vancouver, New York and London, Ramita saw first-hand the challenges girls face as they move from childhood into adolescence.
Friendship dynamics, academic pressure, changing bodies and the influence of digital culture were leaving many girls feeling overwhelmed and unsure of themselves.
Ramita created ElevateRA to provide girls with the tools, language and support they need to understand themselves and navigate these years with confidence.
The Elevate Festival extends that mission — bringing girls and their families together for a shared experience of learning, creativity and connection.
Because when girls understand themselves and feel supported, they are far more likely to thrive.
What Makes Elevate Festival Different
The right support, at the right time.
The years between 8 and 15 are some of the most important — when confidence is shaped, identity begins to form, and the world starts to feel bigger, louder, and sometimes overwhelming.
Elevate exists to meet girls right in this time with preventative educational measures founded by Ramita Anand teacher and educator running the Elevate Mentorship Programme.
Real experiences that stick — for girls and the people who support them.
What makes us different is how and when we do it. Every part of the festival is built around our five core pillars — creating a strong, lasting foundation across confidence, connection, resilience, self-awareness, and voice.
It’s immersive, engaging, and genuinely fun — designed so girls don’t just hear ideas, they experience them. They are not offered solutions after things go awry, rather build tools to have in their kit so they know how to handle challenges and change. They try, explore, question, and grow in ways that feel natural and empowering. Parents and carers are part of the journey too — building shared understanding, stronger connections, and the tools to support what comes next.
