It's festival Saturday and we're all ready for a cocktail to start the night off - and what better way to do it than in the company of the legendary Joelle Taylor.

In our second cocktail class of the weekend, mixologists from Ruma will shake a heady mix of delectable drinks, while Joelle offers some stirring words to accompany each one. Ticket price covers the cocktails (and poetry) at this workshop.

Joelle Taylor is the author of 4 collections of poetry. Her recent award-winning collection C+NTO & Othered Poems is currently being adapted for theatre. Her novel of interconnecting stories The Night Alphabet will be published by Riverrun in Spring of 2024. She will also be reading her work at our Forward Prize event on Sunday 26th November at 12pm.
