Time to create your own Wild Poetry Alchemy with Guest Artist, Rebecca Sharp. In this workshop, you will learn about scent-blending, the history of natural perfumery and alchemy, the uses and meanings of different oils, plus have guided writing time.
You will leave the session with your own unique 10ml scent-blend personal blend, piece of writing and a wealth of techniques and ideas to take forward as you wish, through all areas of your life.

Join the wonderful Beth Porter for an afternoon workshop, using writings by women to inspire your own songs. No experience of songwriting or music needed, just bring along a favourite book by a woman author, and together we will weave new songs from our wild voices. https://www.bethporter.co.uk/

An intimate gathering with the fabulous Bookshop Band.
What started as an artistic collaboration between a group of songwriters and their local indie bookshop spiralled into major UK and European tours, writing over 150 songs over 13 albums, collaborating with some of the biggest names in the literary world, including Philip Pullman, Yann Martel, Louis de Bernieres, Joanne Harris and Ben Okri, as well as being commissioned to create new work by Radio 3, The V&A Museum, The Pompidou Centre and The National Portrait Gallery. The band currently live in Wigtown, Scotland's Book Town and continue to tour and write music.
