Creative Workshop: Writing & Grieving
Online
Friday 4th December 2026 6:00PM
Join writer and creative practitioner Bridget Hamilton for a poetry workshop to mark the end of Grief Awareness Week 2026.
In this two-hour online session, we will look at some poems on grief and bereavement before completing a series of low pressure exercises to help you to get creative and honour somebody you love who has died. No poetry knowledge or creative writing experience required, and no forced sharing with the group - just come along and have a go in a friendly environment.
If you would like to discuss any element of the workshop before booking (including themes / content warnings), you are very welcome to email [email protected].
