Alongside our Healing Words 2019 exhibition, we’re running a series of special workshops on aspects of creativity and mental health.
It’s a chance for you to get involved: from tips for building your confidence, to techniques for getting you writing – and even take part in an open mic poetry reading. A talented bunch of workshop leaders will guide you through 30 minute taster sessions for you to dip your toe in and learn new skills.
Space is limited; reserve your seat below (or turn up on the day for standing room).
