On Wednesday 19 June we will be hosting a Poetry Walk through Nottingham City, led by international writer and poet Ahmed Zaidan.
The walk will begin at Nottingham Playhouse’s famous Sky Mirror and take us on a journey through contrasting sites of the city, ending at the Central Library where there will be a chance to socialise and share the poetry that has been created together.
This event is delivered in partnership with the Migration Institute of Finland and Nottingham Central Library.

This event is free to attend, however if you are able to please consider making a donation for our work as a Theatre of Sanctuary. Any money raised will go towards continuing and expanding provisions such as Nottingham Playhouse Conversation & Creative Café, where refugees and asylum seekers are welcomed into our building every week for a free hot drink, a chat and to practice their English language skills in a relaxed setting, followed by a creative session led by a local artist.
