Collect: Hoardings Poetry Project

As part of the Collect: Memorial Capture Project, poet Dominic Berry is working with children from Witton Church Walk Primary School, University of Chester Academy Northwich (UCAN) and the Age UK OPEL group to write poems based on the past and future of the Memorial Hall.

Some of the poems will be used to decorate the hoardings around the new Memorial Court whilst under construction. They will be installed on 4/5/6 February by Ultimate Holding Company, who designed the interpretation of the poems.

Launch Event

The Poems will be launched at Witton Church Walk Primary School on Thursday 13 February at 5.30pm. Everyone is welcome, and a free booklet of the Poems will be available.

In the future we will dive and swim in wonderful, warm waters.
Come with your friends and join in with the fun, splash and play all day long.
Get wet - no one will care,
Get chlorine all in your hair!
And when our fun has come to an end...
We know we'll be back again!
