If you have an interest in writing or performing, this is for you!
Dig into your roots with Jake and Hazel, part of the poet led team behind lively spoken word night Words In Chalk.
Together, we’ll be exploring self-expression, emotive language, figurative phrases and performance tips, with time to write and work out new ideas.

Beginners are very welcome in this fun and friendly space.
All workshop participants will be invited to perform later that evening at Words In Chalk – the live show, also at Metal! Find out more here.
