10:30am to 1:30pm at Christchurch Mansion
On Saturday 12th September from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM join local poet Sue Wallace-Shaddad for a poetry workshop on the theme of landscapes, inspired by the exhibition The Hay Wain: Walking Constable’s Landscape.
Constable’s landscapes reflect the times and place he lived in. You will discuss poems which conjure up different landscapes and write about landscapes you know or can imagine. These might be internal as well as external landscapes. Prompts for quick writing exercises will be provided, and you will have the opportunity (optional) to share your drafts with others.
This workshop is 3 hours long and includes a short break. Suitable for ages 18+.
The Constable 250 project is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we are able to deliver Constable inspired family holiday workshops March 2026-March 2027.
This event will take place in the Lower Tudor Room, which is located on the Ground Floor. For useful information, such as how to find us and what facilities Christchurch Mansion has, we recommend reading our Access information: Access at Christchurch Mansion
