You will also hear about opportunities to have short poems or micro-stories included in the Langstone Loop QR Sign Trail and the Wild Seas, Wilder Cities Audio Book Launch on 29th June 2026.
The event will start with an introduction by Rob Bailey of Friends of Langstone Harbour and founder of the Clean Harbours Partnership, and the workshop will be led by Rachel Birchley and Vin Adams.
