We are thrilled to announce some upcoming events with our 2023 Writer in Residence Rachel Piercey.

Digital poetry workshop, Zoom, Wednesday 15th March from 6.30-9.30pm

In this workshop, you will explore a couple of Charles Causley’s poems in-depth and be inspired to write new poems in response. You will delve into what makes a Causley poem so distinctive and find our own ways of singing along with his idiosyncratic blend of music, warmth, and deep enquiry into the resonant strangeness of the world. 

All poets are welcome, whatever stage of their writing journey. And in the spirit of Causley, who never set out to write with a particular age of audience in mind, the workshops are open to poets who write for adults and poets who write for children. The two are often considered separately but there is so much crossover and so much to learn from each other’s art forms.

The Byre was established in 2017 by Sarah Bradley. Sarah wanted to create a place for people to come to have a feel-good shopping experience, where they can feel comfortable browsing in a nice atmosphere, surrounded by beautiful things. She has searched over the years for products that bring her joy and specialises in Fair trade and eco products.
