Five-week creative writing course led by poet Georgia Conlon, with visits to the Royal Pump Room Museum.
Georgia Conlon is leading a five-week creative writing course at The Studio at the Mercer Art Gallery, starting on Tuesday 17 November. It's run in partnership with Harrogate Museums, and the sessions don't just stay in the studio — they include visits to the Royal Pump Room Museum, so you'll be working with the town's own history as part of the writing. It runs across November and December, with the five sessions spaced out over those weeks.
Conlon is an award-winning poet, tutor and workshop facilitator who mentors writers and runs workshops across the UK and beyond. She won the 2019 Swanwick & Writing Magazine Poetry Competition with Young Love vs. and was awarded a full academic scholarship to an MA in Writing Poetry at Newcastle University, which she studied from 2022 to 2024. Her poems have appeared in Poetry Ireland Review, Aesthetica and The North, and she's worked with The Lit & Phil and The Great North Museum: Hancock. She's also a qualified teacher with a BA and a PGCE in English and Drama, and she runs more than 365 poetry workshops on social media.
