Readings by a different local published poet each month and this month were delighted to welcome SUSAN E DARLINGTON.
Susan is a Leeds-based poet. Her work regularly explores the female experience through nature-based symbolism and stories of transformation and has been published in Northern Gravy, Pennine Platform, Dreich, Dream Catcher, Anti-Heroin Chic, Hedgehog Press and Ethel Zine among others.
This fun FREE arts based project is for adults who have additional learning support needs and live in the Leeds area. You will explore different creative techniques with tutor Clair Thompson and there will be an exhibition and celebration event in September.
All of the art sessions are free and all materials are provided. The sessions will have additional support from our LSA and volunteers.
There are two sessions to choose from (an morning session, or an afternoon session).
Open to anyone aged 11- 18, Leeds Library and Cloth Cat invite you to a Songwriting taster session led by tutor Sean Howe.
In this one-off session, we will explore choosing a theme, writing lyrics and structuring a song. Whilst Sean specialises in alternative music, all styles of music will be catered for at the workshop, no matter what genre you're into.

65 million years ago, dinosaurs ruled the Earth…
30 years ago, a movie about dinosaurs ruled the box office…
This year, you are invited to HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTTS!
This “funny, head-spinning Jurassic Park parody” (The Times) is a must-see “chaotic masterpiece” (Stage to Page) that has won over London fans and critics alike. HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTTS showcases Foley sound and physical theatre and is “imaginative, slick silliness on an epic scale” (London Theatre 1).
Blenheim Walk Gallery is pleased to present Mixed Up: Music and the Art School, an exhibition exploring the profound and often unconventional relationship between art education in Leeds, and local and global music culture. Opening on 14 February 2025 the exhibition promises a rich and immersive experience.
