School Visits

I’m available for school visits - from a performance assembly to collaborative class workshops. We can write Viking-style kennings poems together, describe the surprising forms emotions can take, or cook up a creative creature recipe. Poems written by children can be shared here on my website if requested - they always love to see their work published.

I’m based in Watford, Hertfordshire, but also happy to head into London on the train. And if you’re at the other end of the country but eager for a visit, get in touch anyway – I’d always been keen to see if I can make it work. I like an adventure!

Prices start at £50 for a local assembly – if you’re a bit further afield it would make sense to be at least a half-day session. A full day is currently £290, but please get in touch using the form below with any specific requirements or queries - I’m happy to help.

Interested in an online assembly or class video via the magic of Zoom? £30 for a 40min session means I can visit any school, anywhere!

Notable dates:

World Book Day 2024 - Thursday 7th March (Booked)

World Poetry Day 2024 - Thursday 21st March (currently available)

National Poetry Day 2024 - Thursday 3rd October (currently available)
