Unwind with Words

Third Monday of every month

10.30 AM - 12 Noon

Take time to relax and explore the joy of words through stories, poems and conversation. Each month we take inspiration from a different theme. You may wish to bring a poem or a piece of writing to share (either by a favourite poet or writer, or written by yourself), or recommend a book you loved – or just bring yourself and enjoy listening to others.
