Join us for a one-off evening of poetry, creativity and mindful making; a chance to slow down, switch off, and explore the connection between words, movement and colour.
Hosted by Bethany Callaway & Jessica Pearce, this intimate session combines live poetry reading with bilateral drawing: a calming, meditative art practice where you create with both hands while listening to spoken word. No artistic experience is needed; this is not about creating something perfect but about letting your hands move, your mind wander, and seeing what emerges.
Throughout the evening, you’ll be guided through gentle drawing exercises inspired by poetry, accompanied by a carefully curated selection of spoken pieces designed to encourage reflection, imagination and presence.
Where?:
Chater’s, Saffron Walden
When?:
6:30pm: Arrival & welcome spritz
7:00pm: Poetry & pastels session begins
8:00pm onwards: Stay for dinner, drinks & conversation
Your ticket includes:
• All creative materials needed for the session
• A welcome P&P spritz: our signature peach & gin spritz (with a non-alcoholic option available)
• Table nibbles including olives, crisps and pecorino
After the session, we’d love for you to stay with us for the rest of the evening. Have some dinner, and spend time chatting with fellow guests. The space will remain reserved for our group, so you can relax, unwind, and continue the evening together. Any additional food and drinks can be purchased directly from the restaurant. Spaces are intentionally limited to keep the evening relaxed and personal.
Come as you are, bring curiosity, an open mind, and leave with a little more colour than you arrived with.
