Join us for an evening of poetry, musings and insights, as Stephanie Smith, local poet and historian, shares her latest findings. 

Even if you don’t live with a pet to boost your wellbeing and sense of home, chances are that animals of some kind are still part of your everyday life. Our houses and gardens harbour many small creatures – insects, spiders, snails, birds. Some of them might not be so welcome, especially when they come indoors. But they are all interesting to observe and to write about.

If you recall Stephanie’s poetry evening from last year, you won’t be surprised to learn that there are a few saints in the mix too. Some saints had remarkable relationships with animals and could make friends with the fiercest. Lions and wolves were apparently just as able as humans to recognise sanctity when they saw it.

Secure your spot now, for what promises to be an unforgettable night of poetry and curious creatures!

Light refreshments will be available.
