We are very pleased to be launching a Poetry Hub at Esher Library on Friday 25 April, from 2pm to 3pm. This is a free event, no booking necessary, all ages welcome - so come join us!
Surrey's Poet Laureate, Adam Gary; Leader of the Council, Tim Oliver; and the Mayor of Elmbridge will be in attendance.
The event will include tea and coffee and allow attendees to discuss the Poetry Hub, what it involves, and provide a discussion/chat for all who wish to know more.
The poetry hub sessions will run every first and third Friday of the month following the launch, offering interactive sessions, readings, and poetry writing, in a fun, relaxed, community-focused, encouraging environment.
