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.
