About this event
A drop-in evening of words and stamp-making: cut your own stamps, print them, and add lines to a collaborative visual poem that grows across the ballroom through the night. No writing experience needed and no materials to bring — the Southbank supplies everything.
Why we picked it
A hands-on free evening on the South Bank that leaves something behind — a giant collective poem made by whoever turned up.
