Poetry Walk at The Reader in Liverpool

Poetry Walk at The Mansion House Calderstones Park, Calderstones Park, 27 April 2021–15 December 2022, free entry - Visit now

The regular and ongoing programme of events and activities continues over at Liverpool-based literature and reading organisation The Reader’s recently restored home. Nestled among acres of beautiful parkland in South Liverpool’s Calderstones Park, the Grade II-listed Mansion House is a must-visit for any literary tourist in the city.

The Reader is looking forward to welcoming you to its new Shared Reading sessions, taking place on Thursdays from 10am to 11.30am – Reading In The Red Room sessions are free and you can just drop in. Colleagues from the organisation read aloud poems and other texts that inspire them, then listeners have the chance to share their thoughts and get involved in group discussions. Don’t worry if you’ve never been part of a shared reading group before – anyone is welcome to join in!

You’re also invited to join the team every Thursday from 11am until noon for a restorative walk in the great outdoors, led by one of the friendly Readers, and accompanied by some nourishing poems – it’s free and you can just turn up, rain or shine. No walking or reading experience is required. These walks are a great way to get active, enjoy some poetry, learn something and meet with others.
