In Other Words
Kirsty Taylor
Free, friendly creative writing workshops for all abilities.
We invited you to join Bratfud's own, Kirsty Taylor and unleash your inner poet. In the welcoming surroundings of the Skylight Lounge.
Under Kirsty’s gentle guidance we explored poetry, spoken word and script writing.
Whether we were seasoned writers or totally new to creative writing, the workshops introduced us to new ideas and techniques to get our words flowing.
Our Patch
Our Patch is a year-long arts programme across Bradford in 2025, inviting community groups and residents to design and take part in free workshops, activities and events in their local area. Led by local ‘Our Patch Producers’ alongside artists and makers, the project will bring people together through creative experiences ranging from painting and poetry to dancing, cooking and gardening. Taking place in community halls, libraries, faith spaces and social hubs across Bradford East, Bradford South, Bradford West, Keighley & Ilkley and Shipley, Our Patch celebrates local culture while helping people learn skills, build confidence and make new connections. This is Our Patch.
Our Patch is funded by The Esmee Fairbairn Foundation and The National Lottery Community Fund. We extend our thanks to all players of the National Lottery.
