Venue: Portland Building, Portland Street, Portsmouth PO1 3AH

Travel writing has never been more interesting or more diverse than it is today. It has both broad appeal and literary import, with television personalities such as Michael Palin working in the genre alongside Nobel Laureates such as VS Naipaul. In this session, we present five very different travel writers – from Portsmouth and beyond – with very different approaches to the craft. Drawing on their own enthralling travel experiences, their work spans poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction and journalism.

Admission is free but by ticket only from Eventbrite
