A highlight of the day will be the opportunity for attendees to try driving a bus, with the support of driving instructors.
Visitors can also speak directly to women working in various roles within Stagecoach South, including those who have advanced their careers within the company.
The event, hosted by Stagecoach South operations director Carol Sim, aims to show the different career paths available in the bus industry.
Ms Sim, who started as a bus driver, said: "We want women who come along to see that there is a place for them in our industry, whether they are looking to become a driver or are interested in the many other career paths available.
"We also want to be honest about what it is like to balance work and family life, and give people the opportunity to hear directly from women who are already doing it."
