Have a poem that’s almost working but not quite there, or a poem that just needs some polishing?

Bring a poem along to The Poetry Edit at Manchester Cathedral with writer-in-residence Tom Branfoot to sculpt, cut and hone your work while learning helpful tips about editing and redrafting.

We will be running two sessions in August, and spaces are limited to 10 in each group:

Thursday 7th 6.00pm-8.00pm – Please register on Eventbrite

Thursday 28th 10.00am-12.00pm – Please register on Eventbrite

Please email your poem in advance to tom.branfoot@manchestercathedral.org.
