Reading and writing workshops
If you are a community reading group or writing group, or can offer a workshop series connected to poetry, we can offer space to host your workshops on Wednesday evenings. We only offer the space for a 6 week residency. Email [email protected] to discuss your interest.
Poetry reading group
From 15th March we’ll be running a lunchtime reading group for staff and freelancers working in the area, who’d like to read more poetry or have a well needed break from work. The group will run 12pm-1pm every Thursday – just show up.
