We’re bringing Bermondsey Street Festival favourites, The Poetry Takeaway to your home, in a one-off writing workshop.
Let's get creative! During this writing session Laurie will work through fast paced exercises on the theme of food! All you will need is lots of paper and your favourite selection of pens, plus somewhere chilled to sit and let your imagination do it’s thing. Any age can take part and adults you can scribe for the very little ones. #lovelunch

The Poetry Takeaway
The Poetry Takeaway is the World’s first mobile Poetry Emporium, a regular at The Bermondsey Street Festival and appearing at both large and small scale events across the country. We serve free, high quality, personalised Poetry to our diners, written, performed and wrapped up to Takeaway.
Our diverse group of poet chefs are the heart of The Poetry Takeaway, along with the people we meet, the stories they share with us, how we tell these stories and the amazing places in which we find ourselves.
The Poetry Takeaway is currently undertaking a major project funded by Arts Council England alongside our network of poets and writers we will be working nationally with carefully chosen partners from the health sector, care sector and the cultural community creating a series of events and workshops with particular focus on individuals and communities who for numerous reasons are isolated or separated from their loved ones and in many cases experiencing loneliness.
