Whether you’re a seasoned poet or just curious to give it a go, this friendly and relaxed workshop is all about discovering inspiration and enjoying the creative process.

We’ll play with a range of writing prompts using pictures, words, and our own imaginations and experiences. Starting with fun free-writing exercises and moving through some readings from inspiring poets and other prompts, you’ll have the chance to explore new themes and leave with plenty of fresh material to develop.

We’ll also chat about what comes next: sharing tips on where to find poetry submission opportunities, competitions, and magazines if you’re thinking about getting your work out into the world.

Bring a notebook, a pen, and your curiosity. There are no right or wrong answers or writing styles, just an opportunity to write and have fun with words.

Places are limited, so book early!

All proceeds will be donated to The Book Trust.
