POETRY LUCKY DIP - A Workshop With Grace Pilkington

On your exploration of all the curious spaces in the Mews, be sure to take a seat with Grace and have a PLAY with poetry!

Dip your hand into a bag of objects which can be used as poetry prompts. Pick one from the bag and then write down the words that you associate with it, and watch a poem form… Also take time to read and discuss some of the greatest poems inspired by objects!

Take a leisurely stroll through the Curiosity Cabinet, showcasing works from local artists, and unleash your playful spirit in the Curious Arcade. Be sure to visit The Dollhouse, where you can dance your heart out at the Kitchen Disco, explore your alter ego or engage in delightful parlour games in the Dressing Room and more —there’s a surprise around every corner!

Indulge in delicious food and drink, including signature Curious Cocktails, from our amazing partners in the Mews.
