Do you want to try your hand at writing poetry, connect with other writers, and learn more about the art form? As part of the Roundhouse Three Sixty Festival, we’re hosting a special Poetry Writing Workshop – a one-off session designed to help you explore your voice, experiment with ideas, and develop your work in a supportive space led by experienced tutors.

This workshop builds on our monthly Poetry Writing Drop-In (taking place on Mondays: 19 January, 23 February, and 16 March), where poets of all levels come together to write, share, and learn in an inclusive environment.

Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just starting out, you’re welcome to join us.

This is a small group with limited spaces, and is filled on a first come first serve basis. We recommend arriving at least 10 minutes early to get a space and to allow time to sign up and pay.

What do I get by taking part? 

• Creative exercises to help inspire you to write new work
• Expand your awareness of exciting contemporary poets
• Learn from an expert artist-poet
• Meet other writers, poets, and performers
• Build your professional network

Do I need any particular skills or experience to take part?

No, this drop in is open to all levels and experience. 

How do I join?

This is a drop in session which means there’s no need to book beforehand, just arrive and pay £2 at the front desk. Please note spaces are limited and filled on a first come, first serve basis. Booking opens 30 minutes beforehand, and we recommend arriving at least 10 minutes early to secure a space, sign up and pay. 

I’M NOT SURE I CAN AFFORD TO TAKE PART…

If you need help to pay for things like project fees, transport or childcare, we can help. Find out how you can get support. If you are using a bursary to pay for the project, please ensure you arrange this with the Advice Base with plenty of time before the start of the project.

I HAVE ADDITIONAL NEEDS. WHAT SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE?

We are committed to supporting D/deaf, disabled and neurodiverse young people, those with medical conditions, access requirements or any lived experience that may require adaptation, support or sensitivity. If there is anything you would like to let us (our youth workers, tutors or staff) know that will support your enjoyment and access, you can do so by emailing us at advicebase@roundhouse.org.uk, and we will contact you to discuss further how to best support your engagement.
