One of the UK's best-respected poetry coaches, Dr Jo Bell (author of best-selling handbook How to Be a Poet) leads another seasonal writing session in the gallery at Tegg's Nose Country Park.

Autumn is a starting point, but we go well beyond mists and mellow fruitfulness.

This Sunday afternoon session touches on ideas of readiness, learning and change. New prompts and readings will help you to push and surprise yourself, as well as the reader.

Exercises, poems and discussion to stretch you creatively and generate the best new poetry. Places are very limited! £35: book here https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/picnic-lightning-an-autumn-poetry-workshop-tickets-1977909056231
