Creativity, Wellbeing and Poetry

Manchester-based poet, Rebecca Hurst, will talk about Wendy Cope’s poem ‘The Orange’ and about finding joy in the everyday.

Rebecca will discuss her research on the powerful links between creativity and wellbeing. She will also talk about her own poetry writing, and how poetry can be shared as well as individual practice. This talk will be conversational, engaging, and collaborative – so come prepared to think about and share your own experiences of everyday creativity.

This is part of our Bee Curious talks programme. While a limited number of tickets may be available for drop-in visitors on the day, we recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment.
