About

What do the trees, bees, leaves and creatures around us have to say?

Join artist Natty Speaks for a playful family workshop exploring our connection with nature through poetry, rap and storytelling.

Look closely at the world around Orleans House Gallery, gather words and ideas from what you notice, and turn them into your own poem, rap or spoken story. You might write to a tree, speak for a mini beast, imagine a message from the river, or create something about the place you are standing in.

Come ready to notice, write, play with words and share your voice.

Sessions run throughout the day. Advanced booking for your preferred time is encouraged to avoid disappointment.
11-11.45am
12-12.45pm
2-2.45pm
3-3.45pm

Drop in on the day also possible for families subject to capacity.
