Come and join us for a woodland poetry workshop!

On Saturday 27 September our former Writer in Residence, Sarah Watkinson will to host a poetry workshop in Wytham Woods.

She'll be joined by Dr Jed Soleiman, who will introduce us to the world of fungi and plant interactions. Jed is passionate about rewilding, regenerative agriculture and how to encourage nature recovery within soils.

The workshop, which runs from 10am to 4pm, will provide you with a relaxing day full of writing exercises, writing time, sharing and discussion, all in the beautiful surrounding of the woods.

A payment of £20 is due on the day, and tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided, although you will need to bring a packed lunch.

Pre-booking's essential, so please contact Dorothy at dorothy.mccarthy@btopenworld.com for more information, or to book your place.
