Pomme will suggest creative prompts to help you notice the surroundings and harvest words as we go - collecting images, histories, impressions, memories, phrases, fragments of stories. Inspired by the incredible heritage of trees, wildlife and architecture in the cemetery, we will explore ideas of harvest - what has grown, been gleaned, gathered in and share.
Our walk will take us to the chapel where we can sit and shelter, harvest our collection of words and explore ways that we can make them into something new! We might share a few words of what we have written - if you feel like it.
Bring a notebook and pen. Wear sturdy shoes and bring waterproofs in case it rains.
This is completely FREE event, but booking is essential due to limited numbers, book yours HERE
