Bristol Stanza Group and Lyra Festival present 'Walking Words'. A digital walking trail, accessible through a mobile app where both written and spoken versions of the poems are triggered on your mobile phone as a participant walks past the specific poem sites. These live workshops will be organised by Stanza poets and others to guide walkers around some of the central trails, and to invite participants themselves to write, inspired by the spaces and the poetry.

Three trail areas will be explored:

WALKING WORKSHOP 1
Time: 12:30 - 14:00pm
Meeting point: Royal Fort Gardens (Entrance)
Trail: St George's, Wills Memorial Building, Bristol Museum & Art Gallery

WALKING WORKSHOP 2
Time: 16:30 - 18:00pm
Meeting point: M Shed Entrance (Wapping Warf)
Trail: Wapping Wharf and SS Great Britain

Part of Lyra - Bristol Poetry Festival 2023's outreach and commissions programme.
