A group for people who enjoy poetry and would like to discover more poems through the choices of other members. Each month we will have a theme and each person will bring along 2 or 3 poems of their choice. These can be any poems relating to the topic. They might be personal favourites, sourced from the internet, or found in a poetry book - simply poems that members would like to share. Or if you prefer just come along to listen.

Upcoming themes are: 1 AUG: The Sea 5 SEP: Letters 3 OCT: Arrival 7 NOV: Humour 5 DEC: Being Human

This exciting and innovative playwriting group is self-run fortnightly. Members will undertake stimulating writing exercises, gain feedback from each other on their scripts, work-in-progress and ideas, and draw on the expertise of occasional established stage, screen and radio practitioners.

There is a monthly Scratch night where work is read by actors to an invited audience.

For more information, and if you're new to the group and wish to enrol, please contact Phil Baarda on 07786 662 406 or philbaarda@hotmail.com

Many courses are designed to be attended as a block. With some you must sign up in week one, but with others you can start later. Just look for the ‘Block Booking’ logo and give box office a call for more information.

You’ll save £1.00 on every class if you Block Book, AND guarantee your place on the course. Advance booking is essential for most classes and helps to avoid disappointment, as many courses fill up quickly.

When you see the ‘Drop In’ logo you can pick and choose which classes you want to go to. You don’t have to commit to a term all at once – perfect if you just want to give something a try.

NB: Drop In classes can only be booked on the day, and are subject to availability. Remember to arrive in plenty of time as spaces fill up quickly.
