Spring Poetry Workshop

Join local poet Sam Bartle for a relaxed and inspiring Spring-themed poetry workshop set in the heart of Far Ings Nature Reserve.

Using the seasons as a creative springboard—its archetypes, transformations, and the subtle influence of climate change—participants will be encouraged to reflect, write, and have opportunity to share (optional). Whether inspired by unfurling leaves, shifting skies, or your own personal journey, you’ll be free to follow your own poetic path, guided by prompts, discussion, and encouragement, helping you build confidence in your own poetic voice. Come along, connect with nature and others, and spring into words, leaving with a renewed passion for poetry. This informal session welcomes writers of all levels and may especially suit new writers who are looking for a supportive space to explore their creativity and self-expression.

Please note: Depending on the weather, a short time may be spent in exploration of the nature reserve for creative inspiration.
