In July 2015, writer Robin Vaughan-Williams worked with residents in two care homes in Wallington to explore their experiences of Sutton, from bicycles and trams to shops and libraries. In the poems they produced we discover a Sutton of hissing gas lamps and clunking meters, lavender fields and wailing sirens."

In the spoken word workshops we’ll be exploring our experiences of the borough, using writing by older residents as our springboard, a way to connect past and present. We’ll be using to help generate ideas, and will be working towards some poems to perform at a final live literature event on 24th October, hosted by John Hegley in Sutton.

Please come to Sutton Central Library reception and show your eventbrite ticket (in print or mobile)
