These relaxed events are for parents with babies (pre-walkers/pre-talkers) to enjoy grown-up poems about parenthood and everything else life throws at us. It's an opportunity to unwind and escape through the power of words, in a relaxed space designed for new parents. Toria Garbutt is a poet and spoken word performer from Knottingley, West Yorkshire. Her work, rooted in themes of class, identity and personal experience, has been featured on BBC platforms and widely across national stages. She has published two collections with Wrecking Ball Press – The Universe and Me and Another Time in Space. Toria works within the criminal justice system, using poetry as a tool for connection, reflection and rehabilitation. She was writer-in-residence at the Brontë Parsonage Museum in 2020.
