Words and Wine with Leena Norms
Get into the festival mood with a tasting menu of poetry and wine! Joe Trotter from Edinburgh’s independent wine merchants Great Grog will take you through a tempting array of delectable wines, sharing each drink’s story and history while you sip. A poetic pairing will be provided by poet, vlogger and presenter Leena Norms.
From the politics of ice-cream to the permission slip you didn’t know you needed, Leena’s collection Bargain Bin Rom-com is a tongue-in-cheek look at living on a planet filled with both doom and glitter.
This event is for 18+ only and ticket price covers the drinks (and poetry) at this event, but please note that there will be no non-alcoholic options.
This event will be BSL interpreted.
In partnership with Great Grog
