Play, experiment and write boldly in this inspiring poetry workshop.

Open to poets of all levels, this online session focuses on loosening up, trying new approaches and reconnecting with the joy of writing. Through playful warm-ups, imaginative prompts and guided exercises, you’ll be encouraged to move past blocks, generate fresh ideas and discover new ways into their work.

Expect a relaxed, supportive space where experimentation is encouraged and perfection is left at the door. There will be opportunities to share writing if you wish, alongside generous, constructive feedback in a welcoming group setting.

Whether you’re new to poetry or looking to shake up an existing practice, this workshop offers practical tools, confidence and momentum to keep you writing.
