Into the Woods with Poet Will Burns: A Family Poetry Adventure

Thursday 27 August

Book today
Join us for an extra-special family writing workshop this summer.

You’ll be under the expert guidance of local poet Will Burns as we head out of the Museum into the local countryside that inspired Roald Dahl. As a group, you’ll spend time exploring the woods and landscape working together to generate ideas and conjure up some epic creative writing though fun, family activities. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have worked together to create your own family poem to treasure for years to come.
