Cosmic Storytelling: 14th May, 2pm-4pm

 

Gather round the proverbial campfire to say your piece about yourself, your identity and who you are, whether that’s words you’ve written as poetry or prose, anecdotes, feelings, current affairs, science, strange synchronicities or even alien sightings. We welcome everyone and encourage a warm atmosphere of fun, laughter, empathy and friendship. We want to provide a place where people know they will be listened to, and supported, as we all make our cosmic journeys round the big fireball in space.

As Plymouth History Festival takes place in May, we'll be looking at historical fiction.
Contact us to book your place. A Zoom link will be sent out one hour before the event.
