Bournemouth Writing Festival – Poetry Marquee
Saturday 25th April
I am so excited to be taking part in Bournemouth Writing Festival! Come and join me for a poetry writing walk, taking inspiration from the city – from its shops to its beach – as we stroll. Or come along to my free poetry drop-in at the Poetry Marquee to have a go at haiku or just chat poetry with me.
Please note that the walking workshop has to be booked as there are limited numbers, tickets £15. The drop-in is free and doesn’t need booking.
More information and tickets here.

I have experience performing, talking, and giving workshops both online and in-person, for all ages and abilities. If you’d like to book me for an event, such as a workshop, reading or talk, please send me an email at ellorawrites@gmail.com.
