Creative Writing workshop with Susmita Bhattacharya

Join Susmita Bhattacharya on Wednesday 26 June, 5.30-7pm for a creative writing workshop exploring recipe books alongside our Community Takeover!

How can recipe books bring us together?

Community Takeover offers a space for experimentation and play, where communities can come together and share in our commitment to being a welcoming and inclusive space for all. From June to September, we will be hosting an array of exhibitions, events and workshops in response to Southampton’s food culture, heritage, wellbeing and sustainability.
