About This Event
Join Elena on a poetry hunt through Cornwall Park where we’ll get lost in our imaginations and create a nature-based poem.
Join Elena on a poetry hunt through Cornwall Park where we’ll follow our senses, stop along the way to get lost in our imaginations and, one line at a time, create our own nature-based poem. At the end of the walk, there’ll be an opportunity to read the poems we’ve made up to the group and any nearby trees who care to listen. Grown-up participation encouraged.
Suitable for tamariki 7+ and young-at-heart poetry lovers of all ages. Guardians must accompany children on the walk.
