Letters to the Ocean – Poole Farm Wild and Well

Come along to our Letters to the Ocean workshop held during the Poole Farm Wild and Well event. Enjoy some time dedicated to connecting with our precious ocean and enjoying creative writing.

Writing a letter is an opportunity to bring your care, concerns and fears to the page and create a loving gesture towards the natural world. How does the sea appear in your memories, your imagination, your hopes for the future? If you could send a letter to the sea, what would it say?

We'll embark on a playful and curious journey together, exploring the vast and mysterious world of the sea through the power of words. Led by Creative Writing Lecturer, Poet and Plymouth Laureate of Words, Dr Rosemarie Corlett, we will work through some sea-related object prompts, enjoy some inspiring readings and focus on the craft of letter writing. Suitable for any 16+.

Letters to the Ocean has been made possible thanks a once in a lifetime transformational opportunity, Plymouth has been awarded £11.6 million from The National Lottery Heritage Fund to develop the UK’s first National Marine Park.
