Come and join local performance poet Jo Butts at Charlcombe Nature Reserve for an informal wander through the reserve to explore a few poetry writing techniques in the wonderful world of nature! With guidance, we’ll take time to sit and write some thoughts and share ideas with the group. We’ll curate a group poem during the session to share on the reserve socials and website afterwards. Bring a notebook and something to write with, and prepare for all weathers! BSL support incorporated. Booking is essential and places are limited.
