Join Leeds eco-poet Kate Simpson in exploring the city's waterway, looking closer at the nature and stories that live in and around it. Along the way there will be chances to start and write your own poems with prompts and support from Kate.

A relaxed and welcoming session for anyone interested in creativity, nature and local places - no previous writing experience necessary.

A project funded by Leeds Seasons of Culture and the Poetry School.
