Join us in creating poetic tapestries inspired by life on the road!

We'll start by writing poetry together. We will offer different writing exercises and techniques to try. There will be the option to write collaboratively with others if you would like.

We’ll then paint our favourite lines, or words (or the whole verse if you're feeling brave!) onto fabric and create a tapestry together.

These workshops offer a supportive environment for seasoned poets, secret writers and anyone that just fancies a go. It's a chance for us to share ideas and write together in a warm, supportive, space.

Traveling Tales will be popping up in multiple towns and cities over the Spring and we hope we can create a tapestry that travels with us and is added to by different Roadside communities along the way.

This workshop is free of charge and all materials will be provided as well as hot drinks and vegan snacks. Any allergens drop us an email in advance so we can be sure to have something suitable for you.

Travelling Tales is facilitated by Maddie Wakeling, Beth Goodwin and Albi Knight.

The workshops are part of Roadside, a new play coming to the Trinity Centre (Bristol) in March. Inspired by interviews with roadside dwellers across the south west and drawing on the musical history of this new traveller community, from festivals to free parties, to songs around the fire. Roadside is a celebration of dance floor revelations and the emergence of a new traveller culture from festivals and free parties.

Roadside is supported by ACE, Trinity Centre and The Cockpit Theatre.
