Spooky Poems Aloud with Joseph Coelho

Prepare to jump into the SPOOKY, spellbinding world of spoken word poetry, with your guide: Joseph Coelho. In this interactive session with the Waterstones Children’s Laureate, you’ll be thrilled (and maybe even a litttttle scared) by performances from Joseph as he brings you his latest poetry book, Spooky Poems Aloud: 25 Poems to Frighten and Delight.

Get ready to have your funny bones tickled as we create poetry together and learn how to recite it loudly, softly, and even in ghostly whispers. Then join us on the Spooky Poems Aloud Activity Trail and craft activity for children created by community artist Emma Martin. Presented in partnership with Manchester Poetry Library.

Suitable for age 5-10 years (All children must be accompanied by an adult)
