Come together. Write Now!

It’s THE POETRY PICNIC!

Bring a blanket, a hamper and your friends and get ready for a snack heavy celebration of music and poetry, with poet Simon Mole and musician Gecko…

In the boys’ words: “We’ll play fun (and quite silly) games to get to know each other and build your confidence and skill with words, then help you pen a poem with the power to send your picnic blanket skywards. And we’ll play some Beatles meets the Beastie Boys style bangers of our own. BYOB – please note, this event is Bring Your Own Biscuits.”

Event Start: 11am
Running time: Approx 75mins
Recommended Age: 6+

The Canteen at the Orchard will be open throughout for elevenses-snacks (hmmmmm… *nom nom*… cinnamon buns) and why not stay on after the show for lunch?
