About this Event

Poetry inspired by the Grampian Hospitals Art Trust Collection

With readings by Jo Gilbert, Mae Diansangu, Fiona Robertson, Shane Strachan, and Judith Taylor

There will also be an opportunity to pick up ‘Waymarkers’, a new publication collating the artworks and the poems written in response.


Access information:

Justice Mill Lane is a 2 minute walk way from the Holburn Junction bus stops.

There is limited parking on Justice Mill Lane and around Bon Accord Terrace Gardens.

First opened in 1940, the Bon Accord Baths are one of last remaining examples of an Art Deco pool in Scotland.

The building is unoccupied, so there is no heating, and washroom facilities may be unavailable.

There are two steps into the building, and the event will take place on the ground floor. Seating will be provided.


Many thanks to Bon Accord Baths for hosting Grampian Hospitals Art Trust, and to Creative Scotland and the National Lottery Heritage Fund for their funding support.
