About this Event

The Ghost of Words Yet to Come

Step into the peaceful warmth of The Greenhouse at Victoria Park and explore a mindful, creative twist on a Portsmouth classic.

Join artist Charli Streete from Think Big Do Bigger CIC for a Black Out Poetry workshop inspired by A Christmas Carol by Portsmouth’s own Charles Dickens. Using pages from this timeless story, you’ll uncover hidden phrases and shape them into your own unique poem — reflecting on themes of past, present and future, and the changes we can all make.

No experience needed, just curiosity and an open mind. All materials provided.

Where: The Greenhouse, Victoria Park, Portsmouth

When: 25th November 5:30pm - 7:30pm

Free / Donations welcome
