Siân&#x27;s third &quot;Poetry Bathing&quot; workshop for the poetry festival will undoubtedly prove every bit as popular as her previous outings. We hope the weather will be as kind to us again this year as we once again explore the beautiful Ashdown Forest in search of inspiration. In addition to the tour and writing exercises there will be discussion and readings, with all invited to contribute to the open-air &quot;no-mic&quot; that concludes the event.Siân Thomas is Poet in Residence for the Ashdown Forest.
