The Writer’s Refuge

Since 2021, Northern Broadsides have been collaborating with St Augustine’s Centre in Halifax, to provide a free writing, poetry and performance sessions. We have a loyal group who regularly attend, learning the basics of writing your own play, developing new characters, and even delving into Shakespeare.

In Autumn 2021, emerging writers from St Augustine’s Centre in Halifax worked with Northern Broadsides Theatre Company, Counterpoint Arts and poet Khadijah Ibrahiim. The group performed their poetry for Halifax Festival of Words at the Temperance Movement Cafe.
