Northern Broadsides are inviting people from Calderdale to join workshops in poetry and acting as part of their community project, Iron People, inspired by Ted Hughes’ The Iron Man and The Iron Woman stories.

The Iron People project is a CultureDale key commission, forming part of Calderdale's 2024 Year of Culture, enabling residents across Calderdale to take part and build skills in writing, acting, movement, puppetry, illustration and performance.

So far, three Pay What You Decide Poetry Workshops have been announced for the coming year across Calderdale, all led by Ian Humphreys.

The third workshop is Writing Children's Eco-poetry, where attendees will be given prompts, tips and inspiration for writing poems aimed at helping children appreciate the importance of the environment.

This workshop will take place at the The Piece Hall in Halifax, learn more and book your place via the link below.
