WE LIVE BY THE RIVER
... exploring Rochester in words and walks...
poster_a4.jpg

Our project to inspire writers to explore the Rochester riverside area has been funded by the Rochester Riverside Community Board.

​

We are currently running an online version of the workshops, please see the website for details. 

Our Rochester writing project has three strands;

​

Writer-in-residence: Barry Fentiman Hall will visit the Rochester area each month for a year and write a poetic response about it. 

​

Writing workshops and walks: we will lead a monthly walk to explore the Rochester area, which will be followed by a writing workshop, where you will be guided through a series of prompts to respond to the walk. Writing by Barry and the workshop attendees will be uploaded to the We live by the river site. 

 

Monthly family-friendly live readings: we will invite writers to The Confluence Sessions - our relaxed way to try out a spoken word event.   

Writing workshops and walks:

We will be leading a free monthly walk to explore Rochester, followed by a creative writing workshop. These will be held on a Wednesday. Check the We live by the river website for dates.  

 

The Confluence Sessions: 

The Confluence Sessions enable those who are unable to get to a late night poetry show to enjoy some live literature in a relaxed atmosphere that is family-friendly. They are held monthly on a Saturday. Follow us on Facebook, or check The Confluence Sessions page for dates.
