Do you live in the Sherwood Forest area? Do you write poetry, or are you keen to get started? In this inspiring two-part workshop, led by acclaimed poet and educator Sue Dymoke, you’ll use fascinating photography featuring the area from the Inspire Picture Archive as a starting point for your own poetry.
A connection to, or interest in, the Sherwood Forest area is recommended for these workshops. Participants from the following areas of Sherwood Forest areas are particularly encouraged to take part: Edwinstowe, Warsop, Ollerton, Clipstone, Blidworth, Rainworth, Bilsthorpe, Newstead, Ravenshead, Bestwood, Papplewick, Linby and surrounding areas.
A printed anthology of the poems and photographs featured in the exhibition will be available online and distributed to Inspire libraries during Inspire Poetry Festival.
This exciting, free opportunity is part of the Miner2Major Landscape Partnership scheme, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, celebrating the diverse wildlife, important habitats and rich heritage of Sherwood Forest.
