Club Culture Cumbria guided workshop with Ann Grant
About
In this workshop, we will discuss images from The Armitt's Working Men’s Club exhibition, Club Culture Cumbria, and use our ideas and responses to create simple 12-line poems or stories. Club Culture Cumbria is a continuation of the Club Culture project that Colin Potsig began in Northumberland in 2023. Captured across ten clubs in Cumbria in 2025, they show us regulars and retirees, choristers and bingo players. Attendees will create poems and stories through this inspiring exhibition, with Ann's expertise in writing. This is one of the first events in connection with Club Culture Cumbria. This offers a unique opportunity to experience the exhibition.The workshop will be split, with 40 minutes dedicated to the workshop, which is then followed by a 20-minute reading from Ann inspired by the collection.
Tickets will also include entry into the museum.
