An Outdoor Writing Workshop with Mandy Ross

Birmingham's urban ponds, orchards and meadows are wild, green, secret spaces. How will climate change affect city-dwelling plants, insects, animals and humans?

Discover what it is like to write creatively amongst the newts and damselflies at the Martineau Gardens — a green oasis, hidden away in Edgbaston.

Tickets: £17 & £14; There are only limited places for workshops. Please book in advance via the box office on 0121 246 2792.
