Poetry in Pyjamas with Jo Bell and Bean Sawyer

Join poet Jo Bell and artist Bean Sawyer for an unforgettable all-night poetry workshop that blends writing with visual art and creative camaraderie.

This one-of-a-kind immersive experience invites you to write, create, and share into the small hours. The Poetry Ph*rm*cy will become our poetry snug for the evening, with midnight treats, warm drinks, and comfortable spots to snooze in.

Throughout the night, Jo Bell will guide you through poetic prompts and provocations, while Bean Sawyer will offer foraged wordplay and hands-on crafting. There will be plenty of space for quiet reflection, storytelling, and dreaming.

Whether you're long-established or poetry-curious, you can expect laughter, insight, and a flurry of inspiration. Come with a notebook, leave with a constellation of new ideas, connections, and memories of a dawn filled with potential.

The workshop will run from 10pm - 7am, with plenty of time for snoozing and resting.
Spaces are limited, so book early.
