Description

Step inside a library like no other. Here, books are made from woodland debris and kelp leather; words are printed with soils and plant inks; and poems are shaped by the voices of deer, bats, and the changing seasons.

The Living Library at the Landmark Arts Centre is a day-long festival of multisensory creativity inspired by the natural world. Wander through an ecosystem of exhibited poetry curated by experts from Royal Holloway, University of London. Explore new approaches to bookmaking and nature writing through hands-on demonstrations, performances, and workshops. Become part of our living ecosystem by adding your own poems to a unique public display.

Explore, create, and share at The Living Library, an unmissable celebration of nature and imagination!

Activities will run on a drop-in basis, with the exhibition open throughout the day. Follow the booking link to receive key updates, including the final schedule of events. Families are welcome, and no previous experience of writing or poetry is required.
