The Stories Our Objects Tell: A Poetry Workshop on Memory and Remembrance (young adults)
Do you have a special object that reminds you of someone you love who has died? Join us for a creative writing workshop at the cathedral this September where you will have the opportunity to create your own original poem based on this person and your sentimental object. No poetry or other writing experience necessary - we'll guide you through some low pressure activities to bring out your creative side!
Please bring along your chosen object - or a photograph of it, if you prefer.
We look forward to welcoming you!
The session will be led by author Bridget Hamilton whose debut YA novel We Wait for the Stars came out in July of this year. Laura Barrett, Community Bereavement Projects Lead at St. Oswald's Hospice, will also be in attendance to provide support to anyone who needs it. This activity is organised by Newcastle Cathedral and is not coordinated by St Oswalds Hospice or its partners.
Please note: Children under 16 must always be accompanied by an adult.
Please register in advance to help us prepare enough materials for everyone.
To help cover the Cathedral's running costs, we suggest a donation of 3 per participant. This workshop is also supported by St Oswald's Community Bereavement Team, and we invite participants to make an additional 3 donation to support their work.
