Notts Poetry will hold a workshop at The Usher Gallery in Lincoln on 31 October 2026 from 13:30 to 15:30. The session invites participants to write poems or short stories about what makes Lincoln and Lincolnshire special. The project aims to capture diverse voices across the East Midlands for publication in Spring 2027.
Workshop at the Usher Gallery 1.30 - 3,30 pm Saturday 31 st October
Notts Poetry is working on a new project exploring how people across the East Midlands feel about the places they call home, and how those places have changed over the past decade.
We want to hear what makes Lincoln and Lincolnshire special to you. The places, people, traditions, memories and everyday experiences that shape life here, both good and bad.
You can respond in whatever way feels right: write a poem or short story of up to 300 words, or send us your photography or artwork.
We’ll be running workshops in Nottingham, Lincoln and Northampton, bringing together voices from across the region.
The project will culminate in a series of county pamphlets, alongside a wider collection capturing the best, the worst and everything in between about life in the East Midlands.
Publication is planned for Spring 2027.
