About Us

A creative space for all things POETRY: scrapbooked, spoken and crafted - find your VOICE + use it!

Hey there, Poetry People!

Are you obsessed with pretty words? A secret midnight crafter? A writer of note’s app poetry? A collector of too-many-hobbies? Or a pent up, uni student with not enough sleep and big emotions to express?

 Poetry Society welcomes everyone to join us in creative vigil once a week at the University of Worcester! Whether that's writing poetry or crafting poetry inspired creations, we hope to create a warm and inviting place for artistic expression in all its form, and build a safe space for everyone's unique art and perspective.

As a society, we host sessions & events like:

- Craft sessions, such as zine making, decoupage ,and more!

- Poetry sessions, such as themed writing nights, exploring poetry forms, spoken word & performance poetry and sharing sessions of our favourite poets / poems!

- Poetry workshops with teaching lecturers 

- Socials, such as board games parties, movie nights, open mics and quiet study sessions!
