Professional archivist Victoria Northwood (@mrsvnorthwood.bsky.social) will run two public workshops that give an introduction to the world of archives: what survives and how it’s cared for, whose stories we can find, whose are missing – and why.

Michael Malay joins us next Wednesday at #QuayWords @exetercustomhouse.bsky.social. Book your tickets for just £6 (£4 concessions) here...

The open call continues. R.C. welcomes all forms of creative writing from anywhere in the world on the theme of 'life writing' to feature in the next show. The deadline is 24th November, 12am. Submit via www.rcthomasthings.bigcartel.com/FCR

This show featured lots of great music, along with special guest William Telford and contributions from writers who responded to R.C.'s open call - many of them Plymothains, several from much further afield.

Chris will guide you through techniques to think about how you can explore the initial idea of a song, start assembling lyrics and set these words to music.

Book now on the Quay Words website: quaywords.org.uk/events/intro...

Both R.C. and Rose will read some creative work for us, and we’ll take the chance to socialise and raise a glass to Plymouth’s literary future. 🥂

Don't miss this fascinating talk from the Founder and Director of the Henslowe-Alleyn Digitisation Project, that will explore more theatre, archaeological and social history.

There are more online talks with The Rose coming up in early 2026 too, so look out for news of those.

Thanks for sharing. We're really looking forward to this!

Really looking forward to this...Chris will be performing new songs inspired by the River Exe and its tributaries, the quayside and the surrounding areas, created during his Autumn residency, and he'll discussing the themes and the history with Mark, an expert on historic Exeter and East Devon.
