Poetry Machine at Packwood

Don’t miss an encounter with the Poetry Machine at Packwood this summer.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Under a bright umbrella, the Poetry Machine is a wooden contraption housing a nineteenth century typewriter.

It’s creator, Beth Calverley, will be chatting to visitors about their interests and dreams as she produces a brand-new poem custom-made for visitors. Don’t miss out on this unique experience.

Beth’s poetry celebrates the weird and wonderful things we do while trying to reach out and express ourselves to others. She specialises in mixed emotions, particularly those strange blends that are instantly relatable.
