About the event

Starting with a short walk around Eastside City Park, Lee will guide you through word games, prompts and a scavenger hunt to create poems that emulate the mysterious nature of mushrooms, spores and mycelium. Once your ideas have been collected, you'll head to the warmth of the Connect Event Space inside Millenium Point to complete your poems.

The workshop will last 90 minutes, including a 10 minute comfort break. We will provide a notepad and pen although feel free to bring your own. Workshops tale place at 11.45am-13.15pm and 13.45pm-15.14pm.

This event is open to anyone aged 10+, and children must be accompanied by an adult. As places are limited, please ensure that you book a ticket for everyone wishing to attend.

Please arrive 5 minutes before the scheduled time, meeting at the Birmingham & Black Country Wildlife Trust gazebo at Eastside City Park.
